MTNL has informed the stock exchanges that two Non-Official Independent Directors — Shri Vishwas Pathak (DIN: 00093771) and Ms. Deepika Mahajan (DIN: 09408802) — have ceased to be Independent Directors of the company with effect from April 15, 2026, upon completion of their one-year re-appointment tenure. Both were re-appointed by the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, Government of India, for a one-year term starting April 15, 2025. The disclosure has been made under SEBI LODR Regulations and an Annexure with details has been furnished. As a Government of India enterprise, any new appointments to these vacant independent director positions will also flow from the Ministry.
This is a routine, government-driven change and not a governance red flag — the directors simply completed their fixed one-year term. Shareholders may want to track when the Ministry of Communications appoints replacements, as the board's independent oversight capacity is currently reduced.
