AI summary

SEBI's October 30, 2025 order bars Gretex from taking new assignments or contracts or launching schemes for 21 days. The action follows an enquiry over failure to maintain minimum net worth and inadequate due diligence in an SME public issue. Existing assignments and other activities remain unaffected.

Likely market impact

A temporary setback for new merchant banking work, but existing assignments continue. The company says any revenue impact is not material.
