Regulatory Compliance and EGM Voting Delay
The board also reviewed a prior instance of non-compliance relating to the EGM held on February 3, 2026. While the voting results and Scrutinizer's Report were submitted in PDF format on February 5, 2026, and published on the company's website simultaneously, the corresponding XBRL filing was completed on March 6, 2026. The delay was attributed to a technical system issue and was described as entirely inadvertent. BSE imposed a fine pursuant to SEBI Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/CIR/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024, for non-compliance with Regulation 44(3) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

The matter was placed before the Board of Directors at the meeting held on May 14, 2026, where the board discussed and took note of the non-compliance. After thorough analysis, the board acknowledged that the delay was inadvertent and unintentional. The board further emphasized that going forward, all prescribed timelines and regulatory compliances will be strictly adhered to, and the company has strengthened its internal compliance tracking to prevent such occurrences in the future. The financial results will be published in English and Tamil newspapers pursuant to Regulation 47 of the SEBI LODR and will also be available on the company's website at www.elnettechnologies.com .
