Shiprocket Limited has submitted its Code of Practices and Procedures for Fair Disclosure of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) to the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. The filing, dated August 19, 2026, marks the company’s compliance with Regulation 8(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.
The code establishes a framework for the prompt and uniform public disclosure of UPSI to prevent selective dissemination. It designates a Chief Investor Relations Officer (CIRO) as the primary authority responsible for overseeing corporate disclosures and ensuring adherence to continuous disclosure requirements.
Key Provisions
The policy outlines specific protocols for handling sensitive information:
- Uniform Dissemination: UPSI must be disclosed simultaneously to all stakeholders via stock exchanges and the company’s official website.
- Analyst Interactions: Only public information may be shared with analysts and institutional investors. Any UPSI inadvertently shared must be made public immediately.
- Need-to-Know Basis: Internal sharing of UPSI is restricted to employees who require the information for official duties or legal obligations, subject to Chinese walls.
Operating Guidelines
Annexure A of the filing details operating guidelines for determining legitimate purposes for sharing UPSI with external parties such as partners, lenders, and advisors. The process requires:
- Case-by-case approval by the CIRO or an authorized officer.
- Execution of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) where necessary.
- Maintenance of a digital database with audit trails for all persons receiving UPSI.
Nikhil Kumar, Company Secretary of Shiprocket Limited, signed the intimation. The complete code is also available on the company’s website.
