Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited ( IREDA ) has been fined ₹14,19,540 each by the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited for non-compliance with board composition norms.
The penalties were imposed following notices dated August 25, 2026, citing violations of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The fines are inclusive of GST.
Regulatory Context
The stock exchanges flagged issues regarding the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees. IREDA disclosed the imposition of these fines in a filing dated August 27, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the Listing Regulations.
Government Appointment Delays
IREDA explained that as a Government of India enterprise, the power to appoint directors rests with the President of India, acting through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The company stated it has no role in the appointment process.
The lender noted it has been consistently pursuing the matter with MNRE to appoint the requisite number of independent directors to ensure regulatory compliance. The issue is being placed before the Board of Directors for further review.
