Mumbai, Nov 8 (NationPress) The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has initiated a new weekly trading surveillance protocol affecting nine stocks, including RRP Semiconductors, in response to significant volatility triggered by abnormal price fluctuations in these securities.
Effective from November 10, 2025, the measures will apply to companies exclusively listed on the BSE that meet specific criteria: trading above Rs 100, having a 2 percent price band, and a price/earnings (PE) ratio exceeding 500 or negative. Additionally, these stocks must have hit the upper price band for two consecutive weeks.
“In our ongoing efforts to uphold market integrity and mitigate excessive price movements in securities listed solely on the BSE platform, there is a pressing need to enhance existing surveillance measures,” stated the exchange.
Included among the nine stocks subject to this measure are Citizen Infoline, Colab Platforms, Dugar Housing Developments, EMA India, Mardia Samyoung Capillary Tubes Company, Omansh Enterprises, Oswal Overseas, along with RRP Defense and RRP Semiconductor.
Under this regulation, these securities will have a limited trading window of once per week, either on Monday or the first trading day of the week, and will be restricted to a 1 percent price band. Identification of affected stocks will take place weekly on Fridays or the last trading day of the week, with quarterly assessments for exiting the framework, ensuring a minimum retention period of one month.
BSE further clarified that this new framework is supplementary to existing surveillance measures imposed by the exchange periodically.
It was also emphasized that the selection of securities for this framework is solely a result of market surveillance and should not be interpreted as punitive action against the involved companies.
