BEL dividend: August 13 record date, FY26 payout Rs 2.50

Bharat Electronics, also called BEL, is a big Indian company that makes defence and electronics equipment.

It is a public sector company, which means the government owns a large part of it.

When a company earns money, it sometimes shares some of it with the people who own its shares, and that sharing is called a dividend.

BEL has decided that people who own its shares on August 13 can get the final dividend.

The final dividend is Rs 0.55 for every share they own, which is 55% of a one-rupee share.

BEL already gave an interim dividend of Rs 1.95 per share in February.

If shareholders agree at the company meeting on August 28, the total dividend for the year will be Rs 2.50 per share.

BEL also shared its latest quarterly results: its profit went up by 9% and its sales money went up by 25% compared with last year.

The company's share price fell a little recently, but BEL is still earning more than it did a year ago.
