NTPC Limited: BSE Approves Waiver of ₹31 Lakhs Fine for LODR Regulation Non-Compliance
BSE has approved a waiver of ₹31,03,400 in fines levied on NTPC Limited for non-compliance with SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, related to the availability of Independent Directors. The waiver applies to various committee and board meeting regulations across multiple quarters up to June 2025.
The waiver of fines, while positive, is for a relatively small amount for a company of NTPC's size and does not represent a significant financial event or operational change.
The company received a waiver for fines, which is a positive development as it reduces a financial burden and resolves a compliance issue.
NTPC Limited has received a significant update regarding fines levied by the BSE and NSE under SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. This announcement follows previous disclosures concerning the non-availability of the requisite number of Independent Directors on the company's Board.
Following the appointment of Independent Directors by the President of India, through the Ministry of Power, NTPC had requested a waiver of these fines from both BSE and NSE. The BSE, vide its communication dated 17th February 2026, has approved the waiver of fines aggregating to ₹31,03,400. These fines were related to non-compliance with various regulations, including quorum for Board Meetings (Reg-17(2A)), Audit Committee (Reg-18(1)), Nomination and Remuneration Committee (Reg-19(1)/19(2)), Stakeholders Relationship Committee (Reg-20(2)/20(2A)), and Risk Management Committee (Reg-21(2)/21(3)). The non-compliance periods spanned across several quarters, including Sep-2021, Dec-2021, Dec-2024, Mar-2025, and Jun-2025.
As per circulars issued by both BSE and NSE on 26th August 2025, concerning the processing of waiver applications for commonly listed entities, the waiver approved by BSE will also be treated as a waiver by NSE. This intimation is provided in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended.
