NSE and BSE levied a fine on Jaiprakash Power Ventures for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1A) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, relating to the appointment of Prof. Suresh Chandra Saxena, a director aged over 75 years, for the quarter ended March 2025. At its meeting on 30th July 2025, the Board reviewed the matter and concluded there was no non-compliance and the fine was not appropriate. The Board argues the provisions of Regulation 17(1A) are not in harmony with the Companies Act, 2013, and noted that SAT judgments support their interpretation. The company had obtained shareholders' approval via a Special Resolution within the required timeline and has already filed an appeal with SAT seeking waiver of the fine.
This is a relatively minor regulatory penalty that the company is actively contesting. If the waiver appeal succeeds, shareholders are unaffected; otherwise, the financial impact from the fine itself is likely small and not material to the stock price.
