Executive Summary
ITC Limited's Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY ended 31 March 2026 confirms zero material non-compliances across all 13 SEBI-regulated areas including LODR, insider trading, and related party transactions. The delisting of equity shares from Calcutta Stock Exchange effective 20 November 2025 reduces ongoing compliance overhead without impacting primary listings on NSE and BSE.
Period-over-period trends show sustained clean regulatory record with no SEBI actions, auditor issues or material subsidiary concerns versus prior years. This positions ITC favorably on governance metrics compared to peers facing enforcement scrutiny in the India Enforcement & Compliance Watch period. Positive sentiment (3/10 materiality) underscores operational stability but signals limited immediate market-moving impact. No insider trading activity or capital allocation changes were flagged in the filing. Overall the report reinforces ITC's reputation for regulatory adherence in a period of heightened SEBI enforcement focus.
