Accel Limited has closed its trading window for dealing in company securities effective September 24, 2026. This closure remains in force until 48 hours after the declaration of unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

The decision aligns with the company's Code of Conduct to Regulate, Monitor and Report Trading by Insiders, framed under the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. The restriction prevents insiders from trading during this sensitive period to ensure market fairness.

Trading window details

The trading window will reopen only after the completion of 48 hours following the official announcement of the Q2FY27 results. The specific date for the Board meeting to consider these financial results has not yet been fixed. Accel stated that this date will be intimated separately in due course.

This procedural step is standard for listed companies prior to quarterly earnings disclosures. It ensures that price-sensitive information remains confidential until public release. Investors should monitor future announcements for the exact Board meeting schedule.
