Surat Trade Halts Share Trading April 1 for FY25-26 Results

Surat Trade and Mercantile Limited will close its trading window starting April 1, 2026. This restriction will remain in effect until 48 hours after the company officially announces its audited financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

This measure is a standard regulatory requirement mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under its rules against insider trading. The closure prohibits company directors, designated employees, and their close relatives from trading Surat Trade shares during this period.

The purpose is to prevent the misuse of unpublished price-sensitive information before it becomes public, thereby ensuring fair trading practices and market integrity. SEBI has been reinforcing these rules, recently expanding their scope to include immediate relatives of key personnel, aiming to maintain a level playing field for all investors.

Surat Trade and Mercantile Limited has consistently followed SEBI's compliance calendar. The company previously observed trading window closures for its quarterly results announced for periods ending September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025. This ongoing adherence highlights its commitment to regulatory norms, which are based on the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.

Investors must await the official announcement of the audited financial results for the fiscal year. The company will also communicate the date for the board meeting where these results will be approved. Investors can track the announcement of this board meeting date, the release of the audited FY25-26 financial results, and the subsequent reopening of the trading window.
