Bourses BSE and NSE have put the securities of Power Mech under the long-term ASM (Additional Surveillance Measure) framework. Exchanges put stocks in short-term or long-term ASM frameworks to caution investors about high volatility in share prices.

The ASM (additional surveillance measure) is an initiative by the Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and exchanges where the bourses share a listing of securities that are currently getting monitored due to factors like price fluctuation, volatility, volume variance, etc. Stocks that are shortlisted for inclusion on the ASM list serve as a warning to investors about unusual price movement.

The shortlisting of securities under ASM is purely on account of market surveillance and it shouldn't be construed as an adverse action against the concerned company or entity, the bourses further mentioned.
