RVNL fined ₹9.66 Lakh by NSE for Board Composition Non-Compliance
RVNL received a fine of ₹9.66 Lakh from NSE for non-compliance with board composition regulations for Q1 FY27. The company is seeking a waiver, citing that director appointments are made by the Ministry of Railways.
The fine amount is relatively small for the company, and it is stated that the non-compliance has no impact on financial or operational activities. RVNL also expects a waiver.
The company has been fined by a regulatory authority, which is a negative development.
Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has been fined ₹9,66,420 (inclusive of GST) by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) for non-compliance with regulations pertaining to the composition of the Board and its committees for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
The NSE issued a letter on August 25, 2026, citing violations of Regulation 17(1), 18(1), & 19(1)(2) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
RVNL clarified to the NSE via a letter dated July 27, 2026, that as a Government company, the appointment of Directors, including Independent Directors, is vested with the President of India through the Ministry of Railways. The company stated it has no role in the appointment of directors. RVNL also noted that upon compliance with the regulations through the appointment of the required number of directors by the Ministry of Railways, the company would be eligible for a waiver of the fine, citing previous instances where NSE and BSE had waived imposed fines.
