EKI Energy to appeal SEBI order, says regulator recorded no quantifiable investor loss
Company says final order narrowed expense finding to ₹26.34 crore from ₹48 crore in show cause
notice, business operations unaffected
Indore, November 3, 2026: EKI Energy Services Limited (BSE 543284 : NSE EKI) said on Tuesday it is
preparing to challenge the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s order of October 30, 2026 before the
Securities Appellate Tribunal. The company pointed out that the order itself records no quantifiable gain
from the alleged defaults, no quantifiable loss to investors and no repeat default.
The company said it holds SEBI and its processes in high regard and that an appeal before the Tribunal is
part of the same legal process. As the order records, EKI’s representatives inspected the documents relied
upon, filed detailed written replies and appeared at the personal hearings.
According to the company, the show cause notice had alleged overstated expenses of ₹48 crore. After
examining EKI’s documents, the final order limits its finding to ₹26.34 crore and accepts the balance as
genuine. For this amount, the order states that EKI did not establish that the documents it placed before the
Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Income Tax Department and independent experts were the same as those
before SEBI. The company said it will place that evidence before the Tribunal.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had considered the inspection report under Section 206(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013. MCA, by its letter of April 2, 2026, decided that no penal action be taken under
Sections 447 and 448, the provisions that deal with fraud.
On revenue, the order concerns the stage at which revenue from certain carbon credit project contracts
should be recognised under Ind AS 115 during the first three quarters of FY 2022-23. EKI said this was a
difference in professional judgment between its management and its then statutory auditor on a novel line
of business. The company said it adopted the more conservative view and revised the figures before the
year’s accounts were finalised, and its audited financial statements for FY 2022-23 carry the revised
numbers. The revisions were disclosed to the stock exchanges at the time. The order treats the revision as
a mitigating factor and notes that management’s position reflected application of mind to the accounting
question. The company added that the underlying contract amounts were received & income tax along with
GST were paid in time.
EKI said no promoter or promoter group entity sold shares during the period under review, and promoter
holding remained steady at about 73.4 to 73.5%. According to the company, the order makes no finding
that any funds reached the Managing Director, the promoters or their relatives. The company said it will
raise the order’s direction to the Managing Director to recover the amount before the Tribunal.
The order places no restriction on EKI’s business. Its carbon project development, carbon credit
transactions, clean cooking programmes and advisory work for clients in India and overseas continue
without interruption.
“Our approach through these proceedings has been to put every document on the table, and we will do the
same before the Tribunal. I am confident the full record will support our position. Our teams remain focused
on delivering for our clients and the households our projects reach, and our shareholders will hear from
us at every step,” said Manish Kumar Dabkara, Managing Director, EKI Energy Services Limited.
