Oriental Trimex Limited has disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has passed an order imposing a monetary penalty of ₹1.15 Crore (Rupees One Crore Fifteen Lakh only) on the company. The penalty has been levied under Sections 15HA, 15HB, and 15A(a) of the SEBI Act, 1992. This order relates 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. The company received communication of this order on February 18, 2026, with the order itself dated February 18, 2026. Oriental Trimex Limited stated that the financial impact is limited to the penalty amount and that there is no material impact on the company's operations or other activities. The company is reportedly contemplating an appeal to a higher authority, citing that the order lacks substance and does not contain a quantifiable sum to assess disproportionate gain or loss. The management also noted the company's clean record in the past.
