NTPC fined ₹8.43 lakh each by NSE, BSE for SEBI LODR non-compliance; Company disputes fines
The imposed fines of ₹8,43,700 each are a negligible amount for a company of NTPC's scale. Furthermore, the company has already taken steps to address some of the non-compliance issues and is actively pursuing full compliance, mitigating the long-term impact.
The company received fines from both NSE and BSE for non-compliance with SEBI LODR regulations. While NTPC is disputing the fines and has taken steps to reconstitute committees, the initial non-compliance and imposition of fines are negative events.
* NTPC Limited received notices dated 29 August 2025 from National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE). * The notices cited non-compliance with Regulations 17(1), 18(1), 19(1), 19(2), 20(2), 20(2A), and 21(2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. * NSE and BSE imposed a fine of ₹8,43,700/- each for these non-compliances. * In response, NTPC informed NSE and BSE on 30 August 2025 that it is a Government Company, and the power to appoint or remove Directors rests with the President of India through the Ministry of Power (MoP). * The MoP appointed five Independent Directors on 16 April 2025 and 15 May 2025. * Following these appointments, the respective Board committees have been reconstituted to comply with Regulations 18(1), 19(1), 19(2), 20(2), 20(2A), and 21(2). * NTPC is actively following up with the MoP for the appointment of the requisite number of independent directors to fully comply with Regulation 17(1)(b). * NTPC contends that the imposed fines should not be leviable given these circumstances and the steps taken.
