TNPL's board, meeting on 27 March 2026, approved the re-appointment of M/s B. Thiagarajan & Co., Chartered Accountants, as External Internal Auditors for FY 2026-27, with total audit fees of Rs. 19.50 lakh per annum (Rs. 12.75 lakh for Unit-I and Rs. 6.75 lakh for Unit-II) plus applicable taxes. The board also took note of fines of Rs. 4,89,700 each levied by BSE and NSE for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI LODR regarding the composition of the board. The company clarified that it is now compliant with the board composition requirement. Despite the headline referencing a 'change in management,' the actual filing pertains to an internal auditor re-appointment and a past governance compliance lapse, with no senior management change disclosed.
The re-appointment of the existing internal auditor is a routine operational matter with no material impact on shareholders. The fines (~Rs. 9.79 lakh combined) are minor and the company has already regularised board composition, so this should not affect the stock price. Investors may, however, want to monitor whether any further governance-related penalties arise.
