The company informed the stock exchange (BSE) through a letter dated November 12, 2025 that RVNL is a Government company, as defined under the Companies Act, 2013. Because it is a Government company, the Government of India, specifically the Ministry of Railways, has the sole authority to appoint all Directors, including Independent and Women Independent Directors. RVNL itself cannot choose or appoint its Directors. The company further explained that:

• Once the Ministry of Railways appoints the required number of Directors so that RVNL meets SEBI’s listing rules,
• RVNL will automatically become eligible for a waiver of any fines related to non-compliance, as per SEBI’s rules.
• In the past, whenever there were similar cases of non-compliance, both NSE and BSE had waived the fines after the appointments were made.
