The restriction is effective from July 1, 2026, and will remain in place until 48 hours after the conclusion of the board meeting scheduled to consider and approve the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This measure complies with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and the company's internal code of conduct.

The company's internal code mandates the closure of the trading window to regulate, monitor, and report trading by insiders and ensure the fair disclosure of unpublished price sensitive information. The move ensures that no insider trades occur while the financial results for Q1FY27 are being finalized and prepared for public release.

The specific date for the board meeting has not yet been announced. Sonal Mercantile stated that the details regarding the meeting will be intimated in due course. The closure of the trading window is a standard procedural step taken by listed companies to maintain market integrity and adhere to regulatory norms during the period surrounding financial result declarations.
