MSTC Ltd. ( (IN:MSTCLTD) ) has shared an announcement.

MSTC Limited’s board has formally addressed fines imposed by BSE and NSE for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements, specifically relating to the company’s board composition. The board acknowledged past non-compliance, noted that three independent directors were appointed by the administrative ministry in the June 2025 quarter—bringing MSTC into compliance with requirements for a woman independent director and committee composition—and highlighted that one independent director position remains vacant. Emphasizing that, as a government company, the authority to appoint independent directors rests solely with the President of India acting through the Ministry of Steel, the board has recommended continued follow-up with the ministry to expedite remaining appointments and has requested the stock exchanges to waive the fines, arguing the issue lay beyond the company’s control.
