Circuit Filter Change: BSE imposed new circuit filters on these 35 stocks from Monday.

News Topical, Digital Desk : To curb unusual trading activity, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has announced the implementation of revised price bands on the stocks of 35 companies, effective January 12, 2026. The BSE stated that this move aims to control sudden market fluctuations and protect investors from potential risks.

The BSE periodically identifies stocks that have experienced unusually high or low prices or trading volumes. In such cases, the exchange takes necessary action under its regular surveillance mechanism. This may include limiting the price band of certain stocks by 2%, 5%, or 10%. Each stock has a fixed price band to prevent sudden and excessive price fluctuations. If a stock exhibits high volatility, a stricter price band is imposed.

When is the special margin applied?

The BSE also applies a special margin when a stock's price or trading volume experiences an unusual increase. This margin can be 25%, 50%, or 75%. Its purpose is to protect investors from potential losses due to rumors and speculation.
