Bengal Tea & Fabrics Limited has closed its trading window for designated persons and their immediate relatives to prevent insider trading ahead of its quarterly financial announcement. The restriction is effective from July 1, 2026, and will remain in place until 48 hours after the declaration of the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The closure of the trading window is a standard compliance measure undertaken by the company in accordance with its Code of Conduct for Prevention of Insider Trading.

The regulations mandate such closures to ensure that no insider trades securities while in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI).

Compliance and Regulatory Framework

The company's decision to enforce the trading ban is part of its broader corporate governance framework. By restricting trading activities for designated personnel, Bengal Tea & Fabrics Limited aims to maintain transparency and fairness in the securities market. The designated persons include company officials and their immediate relatives who might have access to UPSI regarding the financial performance for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The intimation regarding the closure of the trading window was officially communicated to the stock exchanges on June 23, 2026. The company stated that the specific date of the board meeting to discuss the financial results will be intimated in due course. Shareholders and market participants can expect the results to be released shortly after the board meeting, following which the trading window will reopen.
