Karachi: The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) announced on July 29, 2026, that trading suspensions for eight companies will persist due to ongoing regulatory non-compliance. This decision follows PSX Notice No. PSX/N-665, dated May 29, 2026, and reflects the companies' failure to address the causes of their trading suspensions.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the affected companies include M/s. Regal Ceramics Limited, M/s. Azmat Textile Mills Limited, M/s. Kaiser Arts & Krafts Limited, M/s. Pakistan Industrial & Commercial Leasing Ltd., M/s. Dadabhoy Sack Limited, M/s. Nina Industries Limited, M/s. Investec Mutual Fund Limited, and Salman Noman Enterprises Ltd. These companies are cited for various defaults under PSX Regulations, including failing to hold Annual General Meetings, neglecting to submit annual audited accounts, and non-payment of exchange dues. Additional reasons include non-induction of ordinary shares into the Central Depository System (CDS) and winding-up petitions filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

The PSX's decision to maintain the suspension is grounded in the powers vested under Sub-Section (7) of Section 19 of the Securities Act, 2015, and clause 5.11 of the PSX Regulations. The trading halt will remain in place until the specified issues are resolved or for an additional 60 days from the report date.
