GHCL Limited's Board of Directors, in its meeting on May 5, 2026, recommended a Final Dividend of Rs. 12 per equity share (120% on a face value of Rs. 10), payable after June 25, 2026, subject to shareholder approval at the 43rd AGM. The Board also amended its Dividend Distribution Policy, raising the payout ratio from 15% to 25% of profit after tax (PAT) on standalone financials. For FY2025-26, the company reported standalone net profit of Rs. 478.81 crore, down from Rs. 626.23 crore in the prior year, a decline of about 23.5% YoY, driven by lower revenue from operations at Rs. 3,064 crore vs Rs. 3,183 crore. Total income stood at Rs. 3,144 crore. The Board approved a capital budget of ~Rs. 59.52 crore for FY2026-27 and appointed Deloitte Haskins & Sells Chartered Accountants LLP as the new statutory auditor for five years. The audit opinion was unmodified.
The dividend of Rs. 12 per share signals shareholder-friendly intent despite a ~23.5% decline in annual profit, and the higher payout policy could support near-term positive sentiment. However, the profit decline may weigh on longer-term investor confidence.
