Dividend at a glance

The board declared an interim dividend of Rs. 5/- per equity share for FY 2026-27. That is 50% of the face value of Rs. 10/- per share.

• Record date: Friday, November 06, 2026
• Payment: on or before November 20, 2026
• Only holders whose names appear on the register on the record date are entitled

What the record date means for you

The record date is the cut-off the company uses to decide who gets the dividend. If your shares are held in a demat account on that date, you are on the list. Buying after the record date does not make you eligible for this payout.

Results approved the same day

The board approved unaudited standalone and consolidated results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.

• Consolidated revenue from operations for the quarter: Rs. 43,964.85 million, against Rs. 38,316.08 million in the same quarter a year earlier
• Consolidated profit for the quarter: Rs. 746.61 million
• Consolidated profit for the half year: Rs. 1,567.85 million
• Basic earnings per share for the quarter: Rs. 5.05

Auditor's review

The statutory auditors issued a qualified conclusion on the consolidated results. The point raised is that certain tax deductions claimed by the company and recognised in its tax expense have been disallowed by the Income Tax Authority. The company has challenged this before a judicial forum and, backed by external legal and tax opinions, believes it is probable the deductions will be accepted on final resolution. The auditors also drew attention to demands received in respect of provident fund and a contingency linked to pending litigation; their conclusion is not modified on this account. They also note that the interim financial information of some subsidiaries was reviewed by other auditors, and that certain other subsidiaries' figures were not reviewed by their auditors and were certified by management, whose view is that these are not material to the group.

Registrar update

The board approved continuing with MUFG Intime India Private Limited as the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, citing improved service standards. The previously proposed change of registrar will therefore not proceed, and the earlier intimation dated May 04, 2026 stands superseded.

What to watch

• The dividend is small in per-share terms but the record date puts a clear timeline on receipt
• The qualified conclusion on tax deductions is a point to follow, since it hinges on an outcome in a judicial forum
