Rajnandini Metal Limited: Board reviews fine levied by NSE for delayed compliance
Rajnandini Metal Limited's Board reviewed a fine of ₹2,89,100 levied by NSE for delayed director appointment. The Board noted the fine was deposited and assured future compliance. Mr. Sanjay Choudhary was appointed as Chairman and Managing Director for two years from August 19, 2025.
The fine amount is relatively small for the company, and the issue has been addressed with the appointment of a new director and MD. The impact is limited to regulatory compliance and internal processes.
The announcement primarily deals with a regulatory fine and the company's response, including a request for waiver. While the appointment of a new MD is positive, the core of the announcement is addressing a compliance issue.
Rajnandini Metal Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on February 11, 2026, reviewed a fine levied by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) for delayed compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The company had appointed Mr. Sanjay Choudhary as a Director on August 19, 2025, thus achieving compliance. The delay in appointment was attributed to the time taken to identify a suitable candidate fulfilling the criteria of Managing Director and board fitment, following the sudden resignation of a previous director due to health issues.
The company had requested a waiver of the fine amounting to ₹2,89,100 (inclusive of GST), submitting its reply and a processing fee of ₹11,800 on December 12, 2025. The Board assured that such non-compliance would not recur and noted that the fine had been duly deposited with the Stock Exchange. A professional search firm, Shavikesh Consulting Company, was engaged on July 8, 2025, to expedite the recruitment process.
Separately, the company informed that Mr. Sanjay Choudhary has been appointed as the Chairman and Managing Director for a period of two years from August 19, 2025, to August 18, 2027, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. Mr. Choudhary has over 20 years of experience in the copper industry and metals business.
