What does ITC’s delisting from CSE mean for the investors of ITC?
I want to understand how ITC leaving the Calcutta Stock Exchange affects normal investors like me. Will this delisting change anything in the way ITC shares trade on NSE or BSE? Also, does this move say anything about the company’s future or the health of older stock exchanges in India?
ITC’s delisting from the Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) doesn’t change anything for regular investors.
The company’s shares will continue to trade normally on NSE and BSE.
NSE and BSE, which, anyway, handle almost all of ITC’s trading volume. So if you buy or sell ITC shares through your usual broker, nothing will feel different.
This move mainly matters at an exchange level. How?
The Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE) has been inactive for years due to SEBI restrictions (read here). SEBI suspended trading at the CSE in April 2013 because the exchange repeatedly failed to meet key regulatory requirements.
Hence, ITC’s exit is a formality as the exchange steps away from the business. ITC is simply cleaning up its compliance requirements by staying listed only on the two major exchanges.
For investors, this delisting doesn’t signal any problem with ITC as a company. The holdings and the way trading of ITC shares are done will remain completely unaffected.
