Chennai Petroleum Corporation has received notices from both BSE and NSE dated August 29, 2025, for not complying with SEBI Listing Regulations on board composition. Specifically, the company failed to appoint a Woman Independent Director during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and did not meet the composition requirements of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee until May 13, 2025. Each exchange has imposed a fine of Rs. 6,38,380. The company has replied explaining that as a government company, the power to appoint directors rests with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and the non-compliance was not due to any fault of its own. It has requested the exchanges to waive the fines and noted that similar waiver requests have been granted in the past.
The fine amount is small relative to the company's size and is unlikely to materially affect financials or share price. However, the recurring nature of this governance gap — lack of a woman independent director — highlights an ongoing compliance issue that investors should monitor.
