What is the Additional Surveillance Measure framework?
The ASM framework was established in 2018. It was put in place to protect retail investors from the unusual movement of stocks and shield them from volatility.
Companies are put under the ASM list for a variety of reasons like unusual price movement, volume variation, etc. When a stock is included in ASM list, it serves as a warning to the investors about unusual activity in the stock.
Once a stock is listed under AMS framework, some trading restrictions are put on these stocks halt unnecesary speculation.
According to the NSE website, if a security, in this case Adani Enterprise and Adani Posts & SEZ, moves into ban period, then the applicable rate of margin in equity segment for such security shall be increased by 15 per cent, subject to the maximum rate of margin capped at 100 per cent.
