Ajanta Pharma's board, meeting on November 3, 2025, declared a 1st interim dividend of Rs. 28 per equity share on a face value of Rs. 2, totaling a payout of about Rs. 349.82 crore. The record date is fixed as November 10, 2025, with payment on or after November 20, 2025. For Q2 FY26, consolidated revenue grew 14% year-on-year to Rs. 1,354 crore, while profit after tax rose 20% to Rs. 260 crore; EBITDA was Rs. 328 crore (up 5%), though it included a Rs. 41 crore mark-to-market forex loss.

The company also flagged that Income Tax Authorities conducted search operations at certain premises in August 2025, with no formal communication received yet and no adjustments made.

Likely market impact

Healthy double-digit earnings growth and a sizable dividend payout signal strong cash generation and shareholder-friendly policy. However, the unresolved Income Tax search in August 2025 is a pending overhang that investors should monitor for any further developments.
