Karachi: In a significant development, the National Clearing Company of Pakistan Limited (NCCPL) has announced the placement of Dewan Farooque Motors Limited (DFML) in the "Non-Compliant Segment". This decision, effective from Thursday, October 15, 2026, follows a notice issued by the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), identified as Notice No. PSX/N-1251, dated October 14, 2026.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), Dewan Farooque Motors Limited will be excluded from the list of eligible Securities Lending & Borrowing ("SLB B") and the Margin Financing System ("MF"). The exclusion signifies a regulatory action aimed at addressing compliance issues concerning the company.

The placement of DFML in the "Non-Compliant Segment" indicates a critical response to underlying compliance challenges. The market participants are expected to adjust their strategies in light of this change, as the company's securities will no longer be part of key trading and financing systems under the PSX's oversight.

This action underscores the regulatory framework's role in maintaining market integrity, as outlined in the designated market category. The NCCPL's move reflects the ongoing efforts to ensure adherence to compliance standards within the financial markets of Pakistan.
