<li>Overall, the introduction of the price-linked tick size mechanism by the NSE is a positive development as it leads to improving market efficiency and enhancing price discovery. </li>
<li>This move is likely to benefit investors by reducing slippage costs and improving liquidity, especially for small-cap and mid-cap stocks. </li>
