A point the auditors flagged
- The auditors drew attention to a note on non-recognition of revenue from two wind power plants in Rajasthan, pending execution of a fresh power purchase agreement since 01.04.2019, a matter sub-judice before the Rajasthan High Court. Their conclusion is not modified on this matter.
What this means for a shareholder
- The record date decides who receives the dividend: shares must be held in your name on that date.
- For context, the company's total dividend for FY 2025-26 was ₹11.50 per share (interim ₹10.50 plus final ₹1.00), amounting to ₹2,112.12 crore.
- The overall perception is of a profit-and-dividend update for the quarter, with the wind power revenue matter noted as an ongoing caveat.
