BSE and NSE had in similar circulars yesterday said shares of these companies would be moved out of GSM (Graded Surveillance Measures) framework and will be made available for trading with effect from August 11.
The move came after the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) had yesterday stayed the trading restrictions imposed on these companies, which figured in the list of 331 “suspected shell companies” referred by the government to SEBI.
SEBI, on August 7, had asked stock exchanges to restrict trading in the shares of 331 “suspected shell companies”, some of which have investments by several well-known domestic and foreign investors.
Subsequently, the exchanges had moved such stocks to the highest sixth grade of GSM, where the shares are allowed to trade only on first Monday of the month with no upward movement in price with Additional Surveillance Deposit of 200 per cent of trade value to be deposited by the buyers.
JKumar Infraprojects and Prakash Industries had moved the SAT against the SEBI directions.
