SCI Board Notes Non-Compliance Fine of ₹5.43 Lakhs Each from NSE & BSE
Shipping Corporation of India Limited's Board met on May 8, 2026, to discuss fines levied by NSE and BSE totaling ₹5.43 Lakhs each for non-compliance in Q3 FY26. The company has requested a waiver for these fines, citing its PSU status and ongoing efforts to appoint independent directors.
The fine amount of approximately ₹5.43 Lakhs each from NSE and BSE is relatively small for a company of SCI's size and is unlikely to have a material financial impact. The primary impact is on corporate governance reporting.
The announcement is neutral as it reports a fine levied by stock exchanges for non-compliance, along with the company's actions to address it and request a waiver. It does not indicate significant positive or negative operational or financial changes.
Shipping Corporation of India Limited (SCI) has informed the stock exchanges about a Board meeting held on May 8, 2026, where the matter of non-compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, was discussed.
During the third quarter of FY 2025-26, both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE) imposed fines amounting to ₹5,42,800 (inclusive of 18% GST) each on SCI for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) for the quarter ended December 31st, 2025. The Company Secretary informed the Board about these notices.
The Board noted that as a Public Sector Undertaking, SCI's director appointments are solely under the purview of the Administrative Ministry, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW). The Board also acknowledged the waiver request letters sent to NSE and BSE on March 5, 2026, and the consistent efforts to secure the appointment of requisite Independent Directors, including a Women Independent Director, from the Ministry.
SCI has requested both stock exchanges to waive the levied fines. The announcement also references a notice from NSE dated February 27, 2026, detailing the non-compliance and the procedure for filing waiver applications, including a non-refundable processing fee of ₹10,000 plus 18% GST if the fine amount exceeds ₹5,000.
