National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) responded to an NSE notice dated 29 August 2025 flagging non-compliance with multiple SEBI Listing Regulations (17(1), 18(1), 19(1)/(2), 20(2)/(2A) and 21(2)) for the quarter ended 30 June 2025. These regulations relate to having adequate Independent Directors on the Board and on key committees such as Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, Stakeholders Relationship, and Risk Management. The Board noted that NSE has already accepted NFL's waiver request for Regulation 18(1) (Audit Committee) and 19(1) (Nomination & Remuneration Committee) for the relevant periods. The Board has decided to approach the Department of Fertilizers (DoF) again to seek appointment of sufficient Independent Directors, as the company is a government entity and does not have direct control over director appointments.
Minor governance issue with no financial penalty currently; the matter depends on government (DoF) action to appoint Independent Directors, which is outside the company's control. Unlikely to materially affect shareholders or stock price in the near term.
