Galaxy Supermarket Limited is closing its trading window from April 1, 2026, until 48 hours after it announces its financial results for the quarter and year ending March 31, 2026. This measure is in line with SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, aiming to prevent insider trading and uphold market integrity.
The primary goal of this closure is to stop the misuse of non-public, price-sensitive information. By blocking trading by directors and key employees, the company ensures fair market practices and maintains investor confidence.

It was formerly known as Galaxy Entertainment Corporation Limited before changing its name to Galaxy Cloud Kitchen Limited on February 4, 2019, focusing on food manufacturing, including bakery and ready-to-eat items. The company operates in the FMCG and Retailing sectors and is listed on the BSE.
Trading Restrictions
During this period, designated persons, such as directors and key employees, are forbidden from trading in the company's securities. This rule ensures that no insider information is used for trading before it is publicly disclosed.
