eMudhra Limited will temporarily close its trading window for securities starting April 1, 2026. This standard procedure precedes the company's announcement of its audited financial results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

Regulatory Compliance Explained

This regulation prevents company directors, officers, and designated employees from trading eMudhra's shares when they might possess unpublished price-sensitive information. The aim is to ensure fair trading conditions for all investors and prevent market manipulation.
