Annual Secretarial Compliance Report under SEBI Regulations, 2015 for the year ended 31.03.2025.
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
LS Industries Limited filed its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY2024-25, reviewed by M/s H Nitin & Associates, Company Secretaries. The company is largely compliant with SEBI LODR Regulations, but a few gaps were flagged: its website was not fully updated, it could not fully comply with ICSI Secretarial Standards due to weak financial position, and SDD (Structured Digital Database) entries under insider trading rules were made late in some quarters. A significant development is the SEBI Interim Order dated 11 February 2025 passed against the company under Sections 11(1), 11(4) and 11B(1) of the SEBI Act, 1992. The company has submitted written submissions and is cooperating with the investigation; the final SEBI order is awaited. The company's waiver application regarding certain non-compliances remains pending with BSE, and the stock was previously suspended before being revived in July 2024.
Shareholders should note that SEBI has an open investigation against the company with an interim order already in place, which is a negative regulatory overhang. The compliance gaps and weak financial position cited as reasons for non-compliance could weigh on investor confidence and stock sentiment until the SEBI final order is issued and compliance issues are resolved.
