The stock had been in the F&O ban since August 12.
Exiting the F&O ban means that new positions can be created again in the stock, which is not a possibility when the stock is in the ban.

Shares of PG Electroplast have gained 5% in the five trading sessions that they have been in the F&O ban. The 6% fall on August 13 was offset by a 8% advance on Monday, August 18, when all consumer durable stocks, including Voltas, Blue Star, IFB Industries, rallied in anticipation of GST rates being rationalised to a lower level before Diwali.
