5% To 20%: SKF India and 5 other stocks whose price band increased to 20%

Synopsis: Several Indian stocks, including SKF India (Industrial), Neochem Bio Solutions, Clear Secured Services, SPEB Adhesives, Shri Ahimsa Naturals, and Ravinder Heights, have had their price bands recently increased from 5% to 20%, allowing greater daily price movement.

In the stock market, price bands (also known as circuit limits) are rules established by exchanges to regulate the daily price fluctuations of a stock and mitigate excessive volatility.

When a stock’s price band changes from 5% to 20%, it means the daily price movement limit has been increased, allowing the stock’s price to rise or fall by up to 20% from the previous day’s closing price instead of just 5%. This adjustment is usually made by exchanges like NSE or BSE when the stock experiences higher trading activity or significant price changes.

Increasing the price band to 20% helps provide more flexibility for price discovery while still protecting investors from extreme fluctuations. Below is a list of stocks where the price band was recently changed from 5% to 20%.

Why does the price band change from 5% to 20%?

Stocks are moved from a 5% band to a 20% band to better accommodate larger price movements while still managing risk. Here’s why this happens:

• Increased price volatility: When a stock’s price shows bigger swings beyond the 5% limit, exchanges increase the band to 20% to allow natural price discovery.
  
• Surge in trading activity: Heavy buying or selling can cause sharp price moves, so a wider band prevents frequent trading halts and helps smooth trading.
  
• Investor protection: While the band is increased, the limit still prevents extremely large, uncontrolled price swings that could harm investors.
  
• Reduce speculative trading: By adjusting the band, exchanges aim to balance quick trading without causing unnecessary panic or instability.
  
• Part of regular market monitoring: Exchanges continuously monitor stocks and adjust bands based on their trading patterns to maintain fair and orderly markets.
