Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
MSTC Limited faced a fine from NSE and BSE (letters dated 28 November 2025) for not meeting the Board composition requirements under Regulation 17(1) of SEBI's Listing Regulations. The Board met on 30 December 2025 and acknowledged the non-compliance. However, the Board explained that three independent directors were already appointed by the Ministry of Steel during the June 2025 quarter, and the company now meets the requirements for a woman independent director and committee composition, with only one independent director position remaining vacant. Since MSTC is a Government of India enterprise, the power to appoint independent directors lies solely with the President of India through the administrative Ministry, and the Board has no authority to make such appointments. The Board has decided to follow up with the Ministry of Steel to fill the remaining vacancy and has formally requested the stock exchanges to waive the fine, citing that the non-compliance was beyond the company's control.
This is a procedural regulatory matter with likely limited impact on shareholders. The fine amount is expected to be small and the company has already substantially rectified the compliance gap. The stock exchanges' response to the waiver request will determine whether the company needs to absorb any financial penalty.
