The trading window will remain closed until May 31, 2025, covering the period leading up to and following the disclosure of the company's financial results for the quarter and financial year ending March 31, 2025.

This measure is part of the company's compliance framework designed to prevent insider trading and protect market integrity. The window will be reopened only after 48 hours following the public disclosure of the company’s audited financial results.

Purpose of the Trading Window Closure

The closure of the trading window is a standard regulatory practice followed by publicly listed companies to prevent designated persons and their immediate relatives from trading in the company's shares while in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI). This period of closure ensures that individuals with access to confidential information cannot exploit their knowledge for personal gain.

The trading window closure applies to:

• Promoters and Promoter Group members.

• Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMPs).

• Designated Employees who may have access to unpublished financial results.

• Immediate relatives of these individuals.

By closing the trading window, Gujarat Pipavav Port Limited is upholding its commitment to corporate governance and ensuring that all market participants have equal access to financial information before any trading activity occurs.

• End Date: May 31, 2025

During this period, designated persons and their immediate relatives are strictly prohibited from buying, selling, or trading in the company’s shares. Any violation of this provision could result in penalties under SEBI’s insider trading regulations.

Compliance with SEBI Regulations

The trading window closure is in accordance with the Code for Prevention of Insider Trading adopted by Gujarat Pipavav Port Limited under the provisions of the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) (Amendment) Regulations, 2018. These regulations aim to prevent insider trading and ensure that no person with access to price-sensitive information can benefit from such knowledge before it becomes public.

The date of the Board Meeting for the approval of financial results for the quarter and financial year ending March 31, 2025, will be intimated separately in due course. The results will be disclosed to the stock exchanges—BSE Limited (BSE Scrip Code: 533248) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE Scrip Symbol: GPPL)—and will be made available on the company’s official website at www.pipavav.com.

Impact on Investors and Market Participants
