RRP Semiconductor’s 55,000% Leap Triggers SEBI Probe and BSE Trading Curbs

Regulators have limited trading to once a week with a 1% band after a retail-driven surge far outstripped the company’s scant operations.

Overview

  • SEBI has begun examining the stock’s extraordinary rise for potential wrongdoing, according to multiple reports citing people familiar with the matter.
  • The BSE placed the scrip under Additional Surveillance Measures and shifted it to once-a-week trading with a 1% price band after phased tightening.
  • Despite the rally, the company disclosed it has not started semiconductor manufacturing, reported negative revenue and a net loss, and lists two full-time employees.
  • The share price logged 149 consecutive upper-circuit sessions and is roughly 6% below its November 7 peak, with market value around $1.7 billion.
  • Ownership is highly concentrated, with Rajendra K. Chodankar holding about 74% and a tiny free float, as the firm contests a withdrawn share-sale approval and rebuts viral misinformation.
