Maruti Suzuki declares dividend

Maruti Suzuki Dividend: The fourth quarter results of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the country's largest passenger car manufacturer, were not as strong as expected. However, the company has provided relief to investors by recommending a dividend of ₹140 per share. This is expected to provide some benefit to shareholders. Let's learn more about this.

Financial performance of the company

Maruti Suzuki India Limited's standalone net profit declined nearly 7 percent year-on-year to ₹3,591 crore (US$3.85 billion), compared to ₹3,857 crore (US$3.85 billion) in the same quarter last year. Rising raw material costs are clearly impacting the company's earnings, putting pressure on its profitability.

However, the company's total income saw a significant increase. Revenue jumped 28 percent to ₹52,449 crore in the March quarter, compared to ₹40,910 crore in the same period last year.

Decision on dividend, when will we get the money?

Maruti Suzuki India Limited has announced a final dividend of ₹140 per share for FY26 alongside its quarterly results. The company clarified that this payment will be made subject to shareholder approval, and an AGM will be held on August 31, 2026.

The record date has been set for August 7th. This means that only investors holding the company's shares in their demat accounts by this date will be eligible to receive the dividend. The company plans to transfer the amount to investors' accounts by September 9th.
