What the update says

Vedanta Limited has informed the stock exchanges that a meeting of its Board of Directors is proposed to be scheduled on Thursday, October 08, 2026. At that meeting, the Board will consider and approve the First Interim Dividend on equity shares, if any, for the Financial Year 2026-27.

The word "interim" matters here. An interim dividend is one declared between two annual general meetings, rather than the final dividend that shareholders approve at the AGM. "First" indicates this would be the first interim dividend taken up for the current financial year.

Key dates

• Board meeting proposed: Thursday, October 08, 2026
• Record date, if a dividend is declared: Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Why the record date matters

If a dividend is declared, the record date decides which shareholders are entitled to receive it. Investors holding the shares in their demat account on the record date would be the ones counted for entitlement.

Trading window

The trading window will continue to remain closed for dealing in the securities of the Company for all Designated Persons till the expiry of 48 hours after the declaration of the Unaudited Financial Results of the Company for the Second Quarter and Half Year ended September 30, 2026.

What the announcement does not settle

The Board will "consider and approve" the first interim dividend. The announcement sets out the meeting and the record date, and the decision itself would follow the Board meeting.
