National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) has addressed a notice from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) regarding non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company's Board, in its meeting on February 13, 2026, reviewed the notice issued by NSE on November 28, 2025.
NFL had previously requested NSE and BSE to withdraw the notices and waive the fine, explaining that the company had no control over the appointment of Independent Directors. The Board reiterated this stance and resolved that the company should again approach the Department of Financial Services (DoF) to expedite the appointment of an adequate number of Independent Directors to ensure compliance with Listing Regulations.
The NSE notice detailed a fine of ₹460,000 for 92 days of non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) pertaining to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, with an additional GST of ₹82,800, totaling ₹542,800. The notice also outlined potential actions for non-compliance, including promoter shareholding freezing and shifting trading to the 'Trade for Trade' basis in the 'Z' category, should the non-compliance persist.
