    On August 22, market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) banned promoter Anil Ambani from the securities market for five years.

    The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) imposed a Rs 25 crore penalty on Anil Ambani and banned him from any association with the securities market, including roles as a director or key managerial personnel (KMP) in listed companies or intermediaries registered with the regulator, for five years.

    Reliance Power had issued a clarification about the regulator's order.

    "Reliance Power was not a notice or party to the proceedings before Sebi in which the Order is passed. No directions are given in the Order against Reliance Power. Anil Ambani had resigned from the board of directors of Reliance Power pursuant to the interim order dated February 11, 2022, passed by SEBI in the same proceedings," it said.

    Therefore, "the order dated August 22, 2024 passed by the SEBI has no bearing whatsoever on the business and affairs of Reliance Power Ltd," the company added.
