The Nepal Stock Exchange has announced the implementation of revised trading regulations effective from Baishakh 7.

Under the new rules, the daily price fluctuation limit for listed companies has been increased to 15%, up from the previous 10%.

The circuit breaker mechanism has also been updated. If the market index rises or falls by 5% within the first two hours of trading, transactions will be halted for 15 minutes. If the market subsequently moves by 8% in either direction, trading will be suspended for the rest of the day.

Similarly, during the pre-open session, stock prices will be allowed to fluctuate by up to 5%. During regular trading hours, order placement can now adjust prices by up to 3% per order, compared to the earlier 2% limit.

Additionally, a new “after-market order” system has been introduced, allowing investors to place buy or sell orders even outside regular trading hours.

NEPSE believes these reforms will make the market more dynamic, transparent, and investor-friendly.
