Company response and status
sci land & assets noted that following the appointment of Prof. (Dr.) K. Jayaprasad as a Non-Official Independent Director on 15.04.2025, it constituted all statutory Board-level Committees, including the Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Stakeholders Relationship Committee, and Risk Management Committee. However, the composition of the Audit Committee and Nomination and Remuneration Committee is yet to fully comply with statutory requirements due to the absence of the requisite number of Independent Directors.
The company, being a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), is coordinating with the Competent Authority for the appointment of the requisite number of Independent Directors. It is currently in the process of submitting request letters to both stock exchanges seeking a waiver of the levied fine. The event occurred on 27.05.2026.
