SAIL Sets September 30 Record Date for ₹2.35 Dividend
SAIL wants to give shareholders a final dividend of ₹2.35 for each share.
The company’s board has recommended this payment, but shareholders must approve it first.
They will vote at SAIL’s annual meeting on September 24, 2026.
SAIL will check its shareholder list on September 30 to identify eligible investors.
The company says payment will be made within 30 days after approval, after applicable tax deductions.
One report suggests investors could receive the money by late September, but the stated 30-day period allows a longer window.
SAIL has paid dividends for six consecutive years, according to the report.
The company also reported a strong increase in quarterly profit.
SAIL has set September 30, 2026, as the record date for its proposed ₹2.35 final dividend per ₹10 share.
The dividend, recommended by the board on May 15, 2026, requires shareholder approval at the September 24 AGM.
SAIL’s 54th AGM will be held at 10:30 a.m. through video conferencing or other audiovisual means.
If approved, the dividend is to be paid within 30 days of shareholder approval, subject to tax deduction at source.
SAIL reported a 121% year-on-year rise in Q1 FY27 consolidated net profit to ₹1,644 crore, while revenue rose 1% to ₹26,245 crore.
