March 25, 2026 (MLN): The Pakistan Stock Exchange has intensified regulatory oversight by issuing a Risk Warning Alert (RWA) against two listed companies for failing to meet critical compliance requirements, particularly the non-payment of outstanding dues.

The companies named in the notice include Dadabhoy Construction Technology Limited (DCTL) and Haseeb Waqas Sugar Mills Limited (HWQS), both of which have been flagged for violations under multiple clauses of PSX Regulation.

According to the , both firms have been granted a deadline until April 20, 2026, to clear their outstanding dues and rectify the highlighted non-compliances. Failure to meet this deadline could trigger strict enforcement action under Regulation.

In a significant escalation, the PSX warned that continued non-compliance may lead to compulsory buy-back directives being issued to major shareholders or sponsors of the defaulting companies a rare and serious measure aimed at protecting investor interests and market integrity.

Even if the dues are cleared within the given timeframe, both companies will continue to be listed on the Non-Compliant Segment of the exchange until all regulatory breaches are fully addressed.
