Bharti Airtel has announced July 24, 2026, as the record date to determine the eligibility of shareholders for its proposed final dividend for the financial year 2025-26. The dividend, recommended by the company's board in May, is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
If approved, eligible shareholders whose names appear in the company's records as of the record date will receive the dividend within the prescribed timeline after the AGM.

The dividend proposal will be placed before shareholders for approval at the company's 31st Annual General Meeting, scheduled for August 3, 2026.
