What this means for a retail holder

An interim dividend is a part-payment of profit made during the year, before the final dividend decision. If you hold the shares on the record date, you are entitled to Rs. 12 for every share you own. On a face value of Re. 1 per share, the payout equals 1200% of face value. The money reaches your bank account, or the account linked to your demat, on or before November 22, 2026, subject to tax deducted as applicable.

How to read it: a dividend declaration puts cash directly in the hands of eligible shareholders, and the record date and payment date are the two dates that matter for entitlement. The expansion announcements describe planned spending and timelines decided by the Board, while the results show the reported revenue and profit for the quarter and half year.
