Under revised ESM action, exchanges will allow T2T settlement with 100% margin. Earlier, trading was permitted once a week with Periodic Call Auction.

The revised framework comes days after BSE-listed Mercury EV Tech had moved Securities Appellate Tribunal to challenge the ESM framework.

On June 2, markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India and the exchanges jointly decided to introduce the ESM framework for highly volatile "micro-small" companies. These are companies with a market cap of less than Rs 500 crore. As per SEBI, high-low price variation and close-to-close price variation are the parameters used to shortlist securities under this framework.

In stage I of the ESM framework, the trading of the securities is settled through a trade-for-trade mechanism with a price band of 5%, or 2%, in case the scrip is already in the 2% band. On Tuesday, no change has been announced for the stage I of ESM framework.
