BSE imposed penalties of Rs 4.5 lakh and Rs 42,000 plus GST on HOCL for non-compliance with SEBI LODR Regulations in Q4 FY25-26. The first was for Board composition gaps under Regulation 17(1); HOCL says director appointments are controlled by the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. The second was for late filing of the Secretarial Compliance Report, caused by an incorrect XML file uploaded by mistake and later fixed. Board has asked for more caution in filings.
Minor financial impact from small penalties. Governance concerns flagged, though company cites external factors beyond its control for Board composition issues.
