The dividend decision
The Board of Directors of the company, at its meeting held on 4th November, 2026, declared an interim dividend of 400%, that is Rs. 4.00/- per equity share of Rs. 1/- each fully paid up, for the financial year 2026-27.
- Record date: Wednesday, 11th November, 2026. This is the date used to identify shareholders — names must appear in the Register of Members, or in the records of the depositories as beneficial owners, on that date.
- Payment date: the interim dividend will be paid to equity shareholders on and from Thursday, 26th November, 2026.
So the record date fixes who is entitled to the dividend; the payment date is when the money is scheduled to go out.

Other board business
The Board also considered and approved the reconstitution of its Board Committees with effect from 4th November, 2026. The meeting commenced at 01.00 P.M and concluded at 02.30 P.M.
One point the company flags
The update notes that sugar is a seasonal industry, so the company's performance varies from quarter to quarter and the results for a quarter are not representative of the annual performance.
The essential takeaway for a shareholder is the timeline: the record date of 11th November, 2026 decides eligibility for the Rs. 4.00/- per share interim dividend, with payment scheduled on and from 26th November, 2026.
