BSE and NSE had in similar circulars yesterday said,
shares of these companies would be moved out of GSM (Graded
Surveillance Measures) framework and made available for
trading with effect from August 11.
The move came after the Securities Appellate Tribunal
(SAT) yesterday stayed 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, asked stock exchanges to restrict
trading in 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.
