Polyplex Corporation Limited has confirmed full compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report to the stock exchanges on May 29, 2026, following a review conducted by RSM & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries.

The report verifies that the listed entity adhered to all applicable statutory provisions and corporate practices during the review period. RSM & Co. examined the company's books, records, filings with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, and its website to certify compliance status.

Compliance Status and Observations

The auditors reported no deviations or non-compliances with the provisions of the SEBI Act, 1992, the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, or the specific regulations listed in the report. The status of key compliance requirements is detailed below:

Remedial Actions on Previous Observations

The report highlighted that the company addressed an observation from the previous year regarding related party transactions. In the prior period, post facto approval was taken for a transaction between two subsidiaries instead of prior approval. The specific deviation involved a transaction value that reached 11.03% of the step-down subsidiary's turnover, exceeding the 10% threshold that would have exempted it from Audit Committee approval.

To rectify this, the Audit Committee of the parent company granted post facto approval as a special case. RSM & Co. noted that since the Audit Committee has approved the transaction, no further action is required by the company.

Scope and Limitations

RSM & Co. clarified that the responsibility for compliance with applicable laws rests with the management of Polyplex Corporation Limited. The report is based on an examination of relevant documents and information provided and is neither an audit nor an expression of opinion on the financial records. It is intended solely for the purpose of compliance under Regulation 24A(2) of the SEBI LODR Regulations.
