Gujarat Natural Resources Ltd has submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY 2024-25, as required under SEBI's LODR Regulations. The Practicing Company Secretary (Chintan K. Patel) reviewed the company's compliance with SEBI regulations and confirmed it is largely compliant across areas including Secretarial Standards, policies, website disclosures, related party transactions, insider trading, and event disclosures. However, one recurring non-compliance was flagged: the company has not appointed at least one independent director on the boards of its unlisted material subsidiaries — Heramec Oil & Gas (Singapore) Pte Ltd and GNRL Oil & Gas Ltd — as required under Regulation 24(1) of SEBI LODR. This is the same issue flagged in the secretarial reports for FY2022, FY2023, and FY2024, meaning it has remained unresolved for at least three consecutive years. No penalty or action has been taken by SEBI or BSE, and the management has stated it is searching for a suitable candidate and has given assurance to comply.
This is a routine annual compliance filing with no direct impact on share price or operations. However, the repeated failure to appoint an independent director on material subsidiary boards is a governance red flag that has persisted for 3+ years. While no fines have been imposed so far, continued non-compliance could invite regulatory scrutiny or penalties from SEBI/BSE, and reflects weak board governance at the subsidiary level.
