# BSE lowers GSM stage for many stocks, easing curbs 2026-08-08T01:42:51+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The BSE has revised downwards the Graded Surveillance Measure stage for several stocks, offering relief from trading curbs. The move, detailed in a notice on March 28, reclassifies certain scrips to a lower GSM stage, widening the permissible price band and reducing circuit limits. While the exchange has not named specific stocks in the simplified notice, the revision applies to securities previously placed in higher GSM stages for price manipulation or volatility concerns. Stocks in GSM face stricter trading controls, including compulsory deposit of 100% of trade value for deliveries. The BSE acts in coordination with the Securities and Exchange Board of India to curb speculative excesses. The classification depends on factors such as price rise unrelated to fundamentals, market capitalisation, and trading patterns. ## Coverage - bseindia.com Tags: BSE, circuit filters, GSM rules, SEBI, speculative trading, stock market curbs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bse-lowers-gsm-stage-for-many-stocks-easing-curbs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
