CDSL's Board of Directors on May 3, 2025 recommended a final dividend of Rs. 12.50 per equity share (face value Rs. 10) for FY 2024-25, which is 125% on face value, subject to shareholder approval at the 27th AGM. For comparison, the company paid Rs. 19 per share plus a Rs. 3 special dividend in FY 2023-24, but the share count doubled due to the 1:1 bonus issue completed in August 2024, so on a like-to-like basis the dividend has actually increased. Consolidated total income for FY25 grew 32% to Rs. 1,199 crore, with profit after tax up 25% to Rs. 526 crore (EPS of Rs. 25.20). Standalone PAT grew 27% to Rs. 462 crore. The Board also appointed M/s. Vatsal Doshi & Associates as Secretarial Auditor for five years from FY 2025-26 to FY 2029-30.
The dividend is positive for shareholders, showing continued cash returns backed by strong profit growth of 25-27%. The slight per-share dividend increase on an adjusted basis, combined with healthy earnings growth, should be viewed favorably by investors. No major negative signals from the financials; the ongoing Anugrah arbitration remains pending in Bombay High Court but is not expected to impact results.
