Lobbying Governance

Bharat Dynamics Ltd sets out a high-level expectation that any "policy advocacy" will be "consistent with the principles and policies contained in the Code" and specifies that it "shall never advocate any policy change to benefit itself alone or a select few in a partisan manner," indicating an intention to align its lobbying with broader company values and the public interest. The company also acknowledges that it may conduct advocacy "through the Administrative Ministry to which it reports or through the trade and industry chambers and other such collective platforms," which at least recognises both direct and indirect channels. However, beyond this statement of intent, we found no disclosure of a formal process or mechanism that monitors or reviews lobbying activities, no named individual or board committee with responsibility for approving or overseeing such advocacy, and no reference to climate-related lobbying alignment specifically. Consequently, while the code signals a basic commitment to responsible lobbying, the absence of detailed oversight structures, periodic reviews, or climate-specific governance suggests only limited transparency around how the company actually governs its lobbying practices.
