GNA Axles disclosed compliance lapses in the composition of its board committees for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, resulting in monetary penalties. The Annual Secretarial Compliance Report, submitted to the exchanges on May 30, 2026, identified specific deviations from SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations regarding committee structures. These lapses led to regulatory action against the company.

The report, certified by H. K. & Associates, Company Secretaries, confirmed that the entity generally complied with applicable regulations, including the SEBI Act, SCRA, and various SEBI regulations concerning insider trading and disclosures. However, Annexure A of the report detailed specific non-compliances related to the constitution of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee and the Risk Management Committee.

The Nomination & Remuneration Committee faced a shortfall in the number of directors. This deviation from Regulation 19(1) & 19(2) of the SEBI LODR Regulations resulted in a fine of ₹90,000 from the National Stock Exchange. Similarly, BSE Limited imposed a fine of ₹90,000 for the same violation. The company stated that the non-compliance was due to a delay in the appointment of a director on the committee.

Additionally, the Risk Management Committee was found to lack an Independent Director. This contravention of Regulation 21(2) of the SEBI LODR Regulations also attracted fines. The National Stock Exchange and BSE Limited each imposed a penalty of ₹90,000 for this vacancy. The management characterized these lapses as inadvertent oversights with no malafide intention.

The following table summarizes the regulatory actions taken against the company:

Apart from these specific instances, the report confirmed that the company maintained a functional website, preserved documents as prescribed, and conducted performance evaluations of the Board and committees.
