State-owned oil and gas giants IndianOil, ONGC, BPCL, HPCL, Oil India Ltd, and Engineers India Ltd have been fined for the second quarter in a row for not having the requisite number of independent directors on board. The fines were imposed by the BSE and NSE, but the companies stated that the appointment of directors is done by the government and they have no role in it. Listing norms require companies to have independent directors and at least one woman director on the board. The companies have requested a waiver of the fines.from Business News: Latest News on Business, Stock Markets, Financial News, India Business & World Business News https://ift.tt/ugjYTnf
