ONGC Confirms SEBI Share Handling Compliance

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC) has confirmed its compliance with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations for the handling of physical share certificates. The company received a compliance certificate for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, from its registrar, Alankit Assignments Limited.

This certificate validates ONGC's adherence to SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018, for the period. It confirms that physical share certificates received for conversion into electronic form were properly processed, cancelled, and registered with the depositories.

Maintaining these SEBI compliance standards is essential for publicly listed companies like ONGC. It ensures transparency in share ownership, supports efficient trading on stock exchanges, and helps reduce risks tied to physical certificates, such as loss or fraud. This process is key to building and maintaining investor confidence.

ONGC routinely submits these compliance certificates quarterly, demonstrating a consistent commitment to regulatory requirements. The SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018, are designed to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the securities market by governing depositories and participants.

For shareholders, this confirmation signifies that ONGC's processes for managing the conversion of physical shares to electronic form remain robust and aligned with SEBI rules. It reaffirms the reliability of the company's share registry and transfer systems.

Similar compliance standards are common across India's listed corporate landscape. Major players, including Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., also follow these SEBI regulations for shareholder services.

ONGC's compliance for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, was certified on April 1, 2026. Investors will likely continue to track ONGC's ongoing adherence to SEBI mandates, particularly those related to corporate governance.
