Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) has announced the suspension of trading for M/s. Asim Textile Mills Limited (ASTM) and M/s. J.A Textile Mills Limited (JATM) as both companies have been placed in the Non-Compliant Segment, specifically the Winding-Up Segment. This decision, detailed in PSX Notice No. PSX/N-410, was made public on April 22, 2025.

Starting April 23, 2025, ASTM will be removed from the list of eligible Securities Lending & Borrowing (SLB), Margin Financing System (MF), and Murabaha Share Financing (MSF) while JATM will be excluded from SLB and MF eligibility. This action marks a significant development for the companies as they navigate the requirements set forth by the PSX.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the removal of ASTM and JATM from these critical financial systems signifies a regulatory response to compliance issues.

The implications of this suspension are yet to be fully realized by stakeholders and investors. Further updates and statements from the involved parties are anticipated as the situation progresses.
