Trading Window Closure Announced
KSB Limited's trading window will be closed from April 1, 2026, until 48 hours after the announcement of its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. This standard compliance measure is in line with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.
Purpose of the Closure
The SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, aim to prevent unfair trading practices by prohibiting individuals with access to Unpublished Price-Sensitive Information (UPSI) from trading securities. By closing the trading window, KSB Limited ensures that no insider can trade on information that is not yet public, thereby maintaining a level playing field for all investors.
