SEBI and Exchanges have collaboratively introduced an Enhanced Surveillance Measure (ESM) framework specifically tailored for Micro-Small Companies, defined as those with a market capitalization of less than 500 crores. The NSE circular outlines the criteria that apply to companies falling under ESM. This initiative is designed to enhance transparency and ensure that investors have access to crucial information before making investment decisions in these stocks.
The ESM comprises two stages. In Stage 1, the trade settlement for a stock will adhere to a Trade for Trade mechanism, with a price band of 5 percent. However, if the instrument already operates within a 2 percent price band, that narrower band will be applicable instead.

Investing in penny stocks can seem enticing due to the potential for high returns, but it's important to understand the significant risks involved. These stocks may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those who are risk-averse. Only individuals comfortable with high-risk investments and who are willing to allocate a small portion of their portfolio should consider them. It's highly recommended to seek advice from a financial advisor before making any decisions.
Penny stocks present numerous challenges. They often represent small, lesser-known companies with limited analyst coverage and minimal publicly available information. Additionally, the lack of transparency and access to management insights complicates investment decisions.
Furthermore, penny stocks are susceptible to various risks such as illiquidity, high-impact costs, and difficulties associated with low trading volumes. Without compelling reasons supported by thorough research, investing in penny stocks is generally not advisable for serious, long-term investors seeking stability and growth in their portfolios.
