Smiths & founders (India) Limited has formally communicated to BSE Limited regarding its status under SEBI's Large Corporate criteria for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company has confirmed that it does not meet the threshold requirements that would classify it as a large corporate entity.

Regulatory Compliance Communication

The confirmation was submitted to BSE on April 11, 2026, through an official communication bearing reference number SFIL/COSEC/BSE/1104/2026-27. Company Secretary and Compliance Officer Roopashree B Shettigar signed the digital communication, ensuring proper authentication and compliance with regulatory protocols.

SEBI Circular Requirements

The communication specifically references SEBI Circular SEBI/HO/DDHS/CIR/P/2018/144 dated November 26, 2018, which established criteria for identifying large corporate entities. Under para 2.2 of this circular, companies meeting certain financial thresholds are required to comply with additional disclosure and governance requirements.

Implications of Non-Large Corporate Status

By confirming its non-large corporate status, Smiths & Founders (India) Limited is exempt from the enhanced disclosure requirements specified in Annexure-A of the SEBI circular. This classification indicates that the company's financial parameters fall below the thresholds established for large corporate entities, thereby reducing its regulatory compliance burden in specific areas outlined by the circular.

The company has requested BSE to take this information on record, completing the necessary regulatory communication process for the financial year 2025-26.
