Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has been levied a fine of ₹11,03,300 (inclusive of GST) by both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The fines are a consequence of non-compliance with certain clauses of the SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for the quarter ending June 2026.
The specific non-compliances identified as of June 30, 2026, include: * Composition of the Board of Directors, where the number of Non-executive/Independent Directors (IDs) was less than 50% of the actual board strength, failing to include at least one independent woman director. * Composition of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. * Composition of the Stakeholders Relationship Committee and the Risk Management Committee, effective from June 2, 2026.
It was noted that during the reported quarter, BHEL had only one Independent Director on its Board until June 1, 2026, and no Independent Directors from June 2, 2026, onwards.
BHEL is in the process of seeking a waiver for these fines from the stock exchanges, as per the provisions of the SOP Circular issued by them.
