Engineers India Limited Board Discusses ₹5.4 Lakh Fine from NSE/BSE for Non-Compliance
Engineers India Limited's Board discussed a ₹5.42 lakh fine from NSE and BSE for non-compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations due to a lack of independent directors for the quarter ending Sep 30, 2025. The company has requested the Ministry for appointments and sought a waiver from the exchanges.
The fine amount is relatively small for the company's scale, and the issue stems from external factors related to government appointments. While a compliance issue, it is unlikely to have a significant immediate financial or operational impact.
The announcement details a fine levied by stock exchanges due to non-compliance, which is a negative event. However, the company is actively addressing the issue by seeking waivers and requesting necessary director appointments, which mitigates the overall sentiment to neutral.
Engineers India Limited (EIL) has addressed a fine of ₹5,42,800 levied by both NSE and BSE for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI Listing Regulations for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. This non-compliance was due to a shortage of independent directors on the company's board.
The matter was placed before EIL's Board in its 391st Meeting held on February 12, 2026. The Board noted that as a Public Sector Undertaking, the appointment and change of directors are solely under the purview of the President of India, acting through the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG). EIL requires four additional independent directors to meet the compliance requirements and has formally requested the Ministry for these appointments, with follow-ups in progress.
EIL had requested a waiver of the imposed fines from both stock exchanges, citing that the non-compliance was beyond the company's control. However, the exchanges have indicated that waivers will be considered only upon achieving full compliance, as per their policies. EIL has formally requested the stock exchanges to waive the fines for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, given the circumstances.
