The Indian automotive sector is set to reward its investors handsomely, as three major players—Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Bajaj Auto Ltd, and MRF Ltd—have announced substantial dividends following their Q4FY26 earnings reports. These industry leaders have confirmed payouts exceeding Rs 100 per share to their shareholders.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.
Maruti Suzuki has recommended a final dividend of Rs 140 per share for the financial year 2025-26. This marks an increase from the Rs 135 per share distributed in the previous fiscal year. The company has designated Friday, August 7, as the record date to determine eligible shareholders for this dividend. Following approval at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the dividend payment is scheduled for September 9.
Bajaj Auto Ltd.
Two-wheeler manufacturing giant Bajaj Auto has approved a dividend of Rs 150 per share, based on a face value of Rs 10 each. This translates to an impressive 1500% payout for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. Subject to shareholder approval, the dividend is anticipated to be credited to eligible accounts on or around July 24, 2026. The record date for this payout has been fixed as May 29.
MRF Ltd.
Tyre major MRF has recommended a final dividend of Rs 229 per share, with a face value of Rs 10. When combined with the two interim dividends of Rs 3 each already disbursed earlier in the year, the total dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, amounts to Rs 235 per share. This significant payout is contingent upon shareholder approval at the company's upcoming 65th Annual General Meeting.
