POWERGRID Fined ₹10.62 Lakh by BSE & NSE for Board Composition Non-Compliance
POWERGRID was fined ₹5.31 lakh each by BSE and NSE for non-compliance with board composition norms for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The total fine amounts to ₹10.62 lakh. The company has requested a waiver from the exchanges, citing the process of appointing directors by the President of India.
The fine amount of ₹10.62 lakh is relatively small for a company of POWERGRID's size and is unlikely to have a significant financial or operational impact.
The company has been fined by stock exchanges for non-compliance, which is a negative development.
Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) has received notices from the BSE Limited (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE), both dated 27th May 2026, regarding non-compliance with the requirement related to the composition of the Board (Regulation 17(1) of SEBI LODR) for the quarter ended 31st March 2026.
As a consequence of this non-compliance, both BSE and NSE have imposed a fine of ₹5,31,000/- (inclusive of GST) each on POWERGRID. The total financial implication for these fines amounts to ₹10,62,000/-.
POWERGRID, being a Government Company, stated that the appointment of Directors vests with the President of India. The company has taken up the matter with the Ministry of Power to fill the vacant posts of Independent Directors. Consequently, POWERGRID has requested both BSE and NSE, through letters dated 28th May 2026, to grant a waiver of the imposed fines.
