Oriental Trimex Limited has received a penalty order from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) imposing a monetary penalty of INR 1,15,00,000 for alleged regulatory violations. The company disclosed this development through a regulatory filing dated February 19, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

SEBI Order Details

The violations pertain to alleged contraventions of the SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices relating to Securities Market) Regulations, 2003 and the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Company's Response and Impact Assessment

Oriental Trimex Limited has stated that the financial impact of the order is limited to the penalty amount imposed.
