dcm shriram international has been fined a total of Rs 1.18 lakh by stock exchanges for a technical non-compliance related to the appointment of a director. BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited imposed a fine of Rs 59,000 each on the company for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The penalty stems from a delay in obtaining prior shareholder approval for the continuation of Non-Executive Director Mr. Sunil Behari Mathur, who has attained the age of 75 years.
The company received notices dated May 27, 2026, from both exchanges citing a violation of Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The fine comprises a base amount of Rs 50,000 plus applicable GST of 18%, amounting to Rs 9,000 per exchange. The company clarified that the delay was an unintended omission caused by time constraints in implementing a Scheme of Arrangement and meeting listing requirements.
DCM Shriram International stated that the appointment has since been regularized through a postal ballot process that concluded on May 12, 2026. The company confirmed that there is no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities beyond the payment of the imposed fines. Corrective actions have been taken to address the compliance gap.
