Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited (TNPL) has approved the reappointment of M/s B Thiagarajan & Co. as its external auditors for the fiscal year 2026-27. The annual fee for these services is set at ₹19.50 lakh, plus applicable taxes.
In related news, the company has settled ₹9.8 lakh in fines levied by the BSE and NSE. These penalties were imposed due to past non-compliance with regulations regarding the composition of the company's board of directors, an issue TNPL has since resolved and achieved compliance for.
The auditor reappointment ensures continued financial oversight for the upcoming fiscal year. Resolving the stock exchange fines demonstrates TNPL's commitment to corporate governance and adherence to regulatory requirements, which is important for investor confidence.
TNPL, a manufacturer of paper and paperboard, operates under SEBI's Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR), which set standards for listed companies, including rules on board composition.
By settling these fines, TNPL has addressed past regulatory issues and removed a potential concern for investors. The company will continue to focus on diligent compliance with SEBI's LODR. Investors will closely follow the auditor's findings on the company's financial statements and internal controls.
TNPL competes in the paper sector with established players like JK Paper, West Coast Paper Mills, and Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited.
