NSE had issued a notice on 29 May 2025 flagging that National Fertilizers had not complied with Listing Regulations 17(1), 18(1) and 19(1)/(2) for the quarter ended 31 March 2025, primarily due to a shortage of Independent Directors on the Board. The Board met on 15 July 2025 and noted that the company had already written to NSE and BSE requesting withdrawal of the notice and waiver of the fine, arguing that as a Government of India undertaking it has no control over the appointment of Independent Directors. The Board decided to again approach the Department of Fertilizers (DoF) to get adequate Independent Directors appointed so the company can comply with the rules going forward.
The matter involves an ongoing regulatory fine from NSE for non-compliance with board composition norms. There is no immediate financial impact on shareholders, but persistent non-compliance could attract further penalties or action from the exchanges until Independent Directors are appointed by the Government.
