Maruti Suzuki India has recommended a final dividend of ₹140 per share for FY26, marking an increase from ₹135 per share in the previous year. The announcement came alongside its Q4 FY26 earnings, where the company reported strong revenue growth and record sales volumes, even as profits saw a modest decline.
The proposed dividend aggregates to ₹44,016 million and is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Investors eligible for the dividend must hold shares as of the record date, August 7, 2026. If approved, the payout is scheduled for September 9, 2026. The increase in dividend reflects the company’s continued focus on rewarding shareholders despite a mixed earnings performance.
Maruti Suzuki reported a 6.91% year-on-year decline in standalone profit after tax (PAT) at ₹3,590.5 crore for the March 2026 quarter, compared to ₹3,857.3 crore in the same period last year.
However, revenue from operations rose sharply to ₹52,449.3 crore, up from ₹40,909.6 crore in Q4 FY25, indicating strong demand and improved realisations. The company also reported record quarterly net sales of ₹50,078.7 crore.
The automaker achieved its highest-ever quarterly sales volume of 6,76,209 units, reflecting an 11.8% year-on-year growth. Domestic sales stood at 5,38,994 units, while exports reached an all-time high of 1,37,215 units.
Operational performance remained robust, with EBIT rising 30.4% year-on-year to ₹4,409.2 crore, marking an all-time high for the company. This improvement highlights better cost efficiencies and a favourable product mix.
Maruti Suzuki’s FY26 performance presents a balanced picture—while profitability faced some pressure, strong revenue growth, record sales, and improved operating metrics underscore the company’s resilience. The higher dividend payout further signals management’s confidence in long-term fundamentals, making it a key development for both investors and market watchers.
