Hindustan Zinc Limited has filed its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY ended March 31, 2026. The report reveals a deviation under Regulation 17(1) of SEBI LODR Regulations regarding board composition. The company has 3 out of 9 Independent Directors, but the regulation requires at least half the board to comprise Independent Directors because the Chairperson is a relative of a promoter. BSE and NSE had imposed fines of Rs 36,50,000 (excluding GST). However, BSE has accepted the company's waiver application and will refund fines paid from September 2021 to March 2024. The company has also made requests to the Ministry of Mines for appointment of additional Independent Directors, but nominations remain pending. All other compliance requirements including secretarial standards, policies, related party transactions, and insider trading norms were met.
The ongoing board composition issue highlights governance concerns, though BSE's acceptance of the waiver application reduces financial impact. The stock may see minor negative sentiment due to continued non-compliance pending director appointments.
