Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) received an Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY 2025-26 from Agarwal S. & Associates, Company Secretaries. The report identified non-compliance with SEBI LODR Regulations pertaining to Board composition. The company failed to maintain the required proportion of non-executive and independent directors, including lacking an Independent Woman Director from April 1-20, 2025. Sub-committees including Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, Stakeholders' Relationship, and Risk Management Committees were also non-compliant for varying periods due to insufficient Independent Directors. BSE levied total fines of approximately Rs. 14.27 lakhs (including GST) across quarters. The company attributed delays to its PSU status where Directors are nominated by Government of India. However, compliance was restored by September 2025 after appointment of four Independent Directors including one Woman Independent Director.
The non-compliance with board composition norms represents a governance concern, though SAIL's status as a government PSU limits its control over director nominations. The company has now achieved full compliance with all committee requirements. Fines totaling approximately Rs. 14.27 lakhs have been imposed, and the company has sought waivers from exchanges.
