Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI) has filed its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY 2025-26 prepared by D. Hanumanta Raju & Co. The report identifies multiple non-compliances related to board composition and committee structures. Key violations include insufficient Independent Directors on the Board (Regulation 17), less than 6 directors on Board during April 2025, and non-compliance of Audit Committee, Nomination & Remuneration Committee, Stakeholders Relationship Committee, and Risk Management Committee compositions during various periods from April to July 2025. Both BSE and NSE have individually imposed fines totaling approximately Rs 21.59 lakh for FY25 and additional amounts for FY26. The company has not paid any fines and has submitted fine waiver requests to both exchanges citing that as a Government Company under Ministry of Defence, appointment of Directors rests with the President of India acting through the Administrative Ministry. Other areas including secretarial standards, policies, website, insider trading, and related party transactions are compliant.
The non-compliances relate to corporate governance requirements for board composition. As a Government PSU, MIDHANI has limited control over director appointments, which has resulted in recurring compliance gaps. The company has filed fine waiver requests, and if granted, this may reduce financial impact. However, the governance issues may concern investors focused on board independence standards.
