V-Marc India Limited has formally informed the National Stock Exchange of India Limited that it does not qualify as a 'Large Corporate' under the regulatory framework established by SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/DDHS/DDHS-RACPOD1/P/CIR/2023/172 dated October 19, 2023. The disclosure, dated May 11, 2026, was submitted by Company Secretary Anuj Ahluwalia and pertains to the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The SEBI circular in reference governs the raising of funds through issuance of debt securities by Large Corporates and mandates specific disclosures and compliances from entities falling under that classification.
Large Corporate Classification Status
As per the company's communication to the exchange, V-Marc India Limited confirmed that as on March 31, 2026, it does not meet the criteria to be categorised as a 'Large Corporate' under the aforesaid SEBI framework. This classification carries regulatory significance, as Large Corporates are required to mandatorily raise a specified portion of their incremental borrowings through the issuance of debt securities in the market. The company's non-applicability under this classification means it is not subject to these additional compliance requirements for FY26.

Alongside the classification disclosure, V-Marc India Limited submitted its LC Disclosure document detailing the company's borrowing position for the financial year from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. The data provides a comprehensive view of the company's qualified borrowings and credit standing during the period.
