Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The anchor lock-in on half of ESDS Software Solution’s anchor shares ends on 2 October 2026, which frees 25,17,482 shares, or 15% of the IPO. Markets are shut on 2 October for Gandhi Jayanti, so those shares can first be sold on Monday, 5 October. Anchors paid Rs 429 per share against a price of Rs 1,434.10, so the unlocked shares carry a paper gain of about 234%. The other half stays locked until 1 December 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The ESDS anchor lock-in expiry is the next test for a stock that has already fallen about 23% from its September peak of Rs 1,864.35. The lock-in period for half of the shares sold to 19 anchor investors ends on 2 October, 30 days after allotment, and the ESDS share price has fallen to Rs 1,434.10 on the last trading day before it.<\/p>\n

This guide explains how an anchor lock-in works under SEBI rules, the exact numbers for ESDS, why 5 October matters after the Gandhi Jayanti holiday, the second expiry on 1 December, and how the 5% price band and lower circuit risk shape the supply reaction. Price data is based on NSE and BSE figures, so recheck it before acting.<\/p>\n
