Reliance Infrastructure urge SEBI, market exchanges to review ASM framework linked to insolvency

New Delhi, June 7 (UNI) Reliance Infrastructure has urged Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to review the Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) framework linked to insolvency proceedings, citing their adverse impact on its more than 7 lakh public shareholders, and emphasizing the need to ensure that market mechanisms continue to facilitate fair price discovery and maintain investor confidence.
It highlighted that the ASM framework was triggered despite the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) staying both the insolvency admission order and the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against the company.
In its representation, Reliance Infrastructure has highlighted that the current framework, which permits trading only once a week within a narrow ±5% price band, results in price movements that are largely mechanical and predictable.
It said such restrictions may not adequately reflect prevailing business fundamentals, operational performance or long-term value creation potential.
Reliance Infrastructure shares are otherwise actively and widely traded in the market, reflecting sustained investor participation and liquidity. The Company has highlighted that the continuation of such anomalous and artificial trading restrictions is counterproductive to the interests of 7 lakh retail and small public shareholders, and undermines the efficient functioning of the market.
The Company has further submitted that the impact of these restrictions falls disproportionately on its public shareholders. During lower-circuit phases, shareholders are often unable to exit their investments at a reasonable market price, while the value of their holdings erodes by a near-fixed percentage each week.
Reliance Infrastructure has submitted that the once-a-week trading framework constrains efficient market price discovery and may inadvertently contribute to the erosion of shareholder value. The Company has therefore urged regulators to review the once-a-week trading restriction in its shares, and introduce appropriate safeguards that balance market surveillance objectives with investor protection and shareholder interests.
As part of its representation, Reliance Infrastructure has proposed a calibrated approach that retains key risk-mitigation measures, including gross settlement, 100percent margin requirements, Additional Surveillance Deposit (ASD) and price-band safeguards, while enabling more effective price discovery.
The Company has requested regulators to consider alternatives such as a periodic call-auction mechanism or a wider and graded price band to facilitate genuine two-sided trading.
