By not making such disclosures, the company violated the provisions of LODR rules and accordingly, Sebi imposed a "penalty of Rs 7 lakh on the noticee viz. Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Pvt. Ltd".
The regulator received a letter from Shapoorji Pallonji and Company in July 2021 informing Sebi that it had converted its listed NCDs to term loan on March 31, 2021 in accordance with a One Time Resolution (OTR) plan executed between the company and its lenders.
