RailTel Corporation of India Limited has provided comments to the National Stock Exchange (NSE) regarding a fine levied for non-compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
In a letter dated August 28, 2026, RailTel stated that the matter was placed before its Board of Directors in a meeting held on July 30, 2026. The Board expressed its view that compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI LODR, concerning the appointment of Directors including Independent Directors, was beyond the company's control. This is because the power to appoint directors vests with the President of India, acting through the Ministry of Railways, and RailTel cannot independently induct or appoint Independent Directors.
Consequently, the Board requested the waiver of the fine imposed for this non-compliance. RailTel formally requested the NSE to waive off the levied fine for the reported non-compliance during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
