How many Cipla shareholders are estimated to hold physical shares eligible for this special window, and what is the total value of shares that could potentially be dematerialised before the February 2027 deadline?
Could the one-year lock-in period imposed on shares transferred through this special window impact Cipla's stock liquidity or create unusual trading patterns once the lock-in expires in early 2028?
Will SEBI consider extending similar special windows to other listed companies beyond Cipla, and what broader market infrastructure changes might be needed to handle the anticipated volume of physical share conversions?
