Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
The board declared an interim dividend of Rs 3 per share, equal to 30%, with an estimated payout of Rs 139.74 crore. The record date is November 19, 2025, and payment is due within 30 days. Standalone September-quarter revenue fell 7.7% to Rs 1,338.50 crore, while profit after tax dropped 39.4% to Rs 175.89 crore. For the half year, revenue fell 10.5% and profit after tax fell 10.1%. The review conclusion was unmodified.
Dividend supports returns, but lower revenue and a 39% quarterly profit fall may pressure sentiment. The Rs 140 crore payout uses cash.
