Bata India Limited's Board meeting on May 27, 2026 approved the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and full year ended March 31, 2026. Standalone revenue from operations was Rs. 35,154.84 million with profit after tax of Rs. 1,135.59 million. The Board recommended a final dividend of Rs. 9 per equity share (180% on face value of Rs. 5) for FY 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on August 12, 2026. This is consistent with the Rs. 9 per share dividend paid for FY 2024-25. The record date for determining dividend entitlement is July 31, 2026, with payment to commence from August 27, 2026. Exceptional items during the year included VRS expenses of Rs. 143.06 million and impact of new labour codes at Rs. 66.66 million. The company also disclosed a foreign exchange loss of Rs. 223.74 million on license rights due to USD to INR volatility.
The dividend declaration of Rs. 9 per share maintains the same payout as the previous year, signaling financial stability. However, the 36% decline in standalone profit after tax (from Rs. 3,284.49 million to Rs. 1,135.59 million) may raise concerns about profitability. The unchanged dividend suggests the company is committed to shareholder returns despite lower earnings.
