Benares Hotels Ltd's board, meeting on April 28, 2025, approved audited FY25 results and recommended a dividend of 250% (Rs. 25 per share) on its 13 lakh equity shares, totaling a payout of about Rs. 325 lakhs. The dividend is unchanged from FY24 (also 250%). For FY25, total income rose to Rs. 14,066.82 lakhs from Rs. 12,379.87 lakhs (~13.6% growth), while profit after tax climbed to Rs. 4,324.95 lakhs from Rs. 3,604.28 lakhs (~20% growth), lifting EPS to Rs. 332.69 from Rs. 277.25. Q4 PAT jumped ~38.5% year-on-year to Rs. 1,605.41 lakhs. Auditors PKF Sridhar & Santhanam LLP issued an unmodified opinion. The board also appointed D.S. Associates as secretarial auditor for five years from FY26.
Healthy earnings growth of ~20% on the bottom line with a maintained Rs. 25 per share dividend signals steady profitability and consistent shareholder returns, likely viewed positively by income-focused investors. No change in dividend size despite higher profits means a lower payout ratio this year, leaving more cash for reinvestment.
