Bharat Coking Coal Fined ₹7.64 Lakh by BSE for LODR Non-Compliance
Bharat Coking Coal Limited received a fine of ₹7.64 Lakh from BSE for non-compliance with SEBI LODR regulations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company attributes the issue to delays in appointing independent directors, which is beyond its direct control. BCCL has requested a waiver of the fines and is actively working with the Ministry of Coal to resolve the issue.
The fine amount of ₹7.64 Lakh is relatively small for a company of this size, and the issue is related to regulatory compliance that the company is actively addressing.
The company has been fined by the stock exchange for non-compliance with regulations.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has been fined ₹7,64,640 (inclusive of GST) by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) for non-compliance with various provisions of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The non-compliance pertains to Regulations 17(1), 18(1), and 19(1)/19(2) of the SEBI LODR Regulations.
BCCL, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited and a Government Company under the Ministry of Coal, stated that the appointment of Independent Directors in Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) is managed by the Government of India. The company argued that the non-compliance was not due to negligence or default by the company but was beyond its direct control. BCCL highlighted its proactive approach by obtaining specific exemptions from SEBI prior to its listing.
The company is actively pursuing the matter with the Ministry of Coal for the appointment of the requisite number of Independent Directors, including a Woman Independent Director, to ensure proper constitution of the Board and its committees. The Board of Directors, in its meeting held on May 30, 2026, decided to request the Stock Exchange for a waiver of the fines and to continue pursuing the matter with the Ministry of Coal for the appointment of Independent Directors. BCCL reiterated its commitment to complying with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI LODR Regulations.
