- On 17 August 2026, HMT Limited (NSE: HMT, BSE: 500191) filed a statutory notice appointing two new Non‑Official Independent Directors.
- The appointees – Shri Dharmender Varada (Chartered Accountant) and Smt Seema Mishra (MPharma) – will serve for three years from the effective date, or until a later order.
- Both directors have no other listed‑company directorships, are not debarred, and disclosed no relationships with each other, satisfying SEBI Regulation 30 (LODR) requirements.
- Varada adds finance, real‑estate and audit expertise; Mishra brings MSME, handloom and CSR experience, having trained >2,000 rural women and led a 300‑plus weaver cluster.
- The appointments align with a Government of Heavy Industries order dated 14 August 2026, reinforcing governance compliance without conflicts of interest.
The appointment of two independent directors is seen as a modest governance boost for HMT, likely nudging the share price slightly higher. The impact should be limited and short‑lived.
