The company has been fined by stock exchanges for non-compliance with listing regulations regarding board composition, indicating a negative development.
REC Limited has addressed non-compliance issues regarding the composition of its Board and Committees for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as stipulated by SEBI Listing Regulations. The company's Board, in a meeting held on September 19, 2026, acknowledged the non-compliance and the fines imposed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Limited.
The Board has resolved to follow up with the Ministry of Power, Government of India, to expedite the appointment of the required number of Independent Directors. REC Limited, being a Government company, stated that the appointment of Directors is vested with the President of India, acting through the Ministry of Power, and the company itself has no role in this process. Consequently, REC Limited has requested the waiver of the fines imposed by the stock exchanges.
This situation stems from NSE Letter and BSE Email dated August 25, 2026, which highlighted the non-compliance.
