Standard Surfactants Limited has closed its trading window effective October 1, 2026. The closure applies to all Designated Persons and their immediate relatives dealing in the company's equity shares.

The restriction remains in force until the end of 48 hours following the declaration of the un-audited financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026. This measure complies with the Securities Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company's internal code of conduct.

Regulatory Compliance and Scope

The trading window closure is mandated to prevent potential misuse of unpublished price-sensitive information. The company notified Designated Persons via its internal code and implemented a PAN-level ISIN freeze through the depository portal to enforce the restriction.

The Board of Directors will announce the specific date for the board meeting to declare these results in due course. The intimation has been submitted to the BSE Limited Department of Corporate Services and is available on the company's website.
