Adani Green Energy will remain in the Additional Supervisory Measures (ASM) framework but will be moved to a lower stage from April 10, according to two circulars published by the exchange. Security selection criteria under the ASM framework typically involve high-risk – low price changes, customer concentration, frequency of price band touches, close-to-close price changes, and price-to-earnings ratios.
