However, the Ola Electric share price band has now been revised downward to 10%, which means that come Monday the stock can only move 10% in either direction. Stock exchanges adjust price bands as a surveillance measure to manage excessive volatility. The BSE’s circuit filter mechanism limits the daily price fluctuation for listed securities, setting upper and lower limits on price movements.
According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), most individual stocks have price bands of up to 20% on either side, except those with associated derivatives. These measures are designed to curb extreme price swings and maintain market stability.
