The penalty was imposed for violations of two critical SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company received notices from both NSE and BSE dated August 29, 2025, and November 28, 2025, regarding these compliance failures.

Regulation 17(1) mandates specific board composition requirements, including the appointment of women directors within prescribed timelines. Regulation 21(2) requires companies to establish Risk Management Committees as part of their governance structure.
The company has made the required disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, ensuring transparency with stakeholders regarding the regulatory action and its resolution.
