"The company has highlighted that the continuation of such anomalous and artificial trading restrictions is counterproductive to the interests of 7 lakh retail and small public shareholders, and undermines the efficient functioning of the market," it said.

"Reliance Infrastructure has highlighted that the current framework, which permits trading only once a week within a narrow ±5% price band, results in price movements that are largely mechanical and predictable.
