New Delhi – Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), the nation's leading automaker, has announced its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, alongside an unprecedented dividend payout for its shareholders.
Record Dividend Declaration
The company's board has recommended a dividend of Rs 140 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. This translates to an impressive 2,800 percent on a face value of Rs 5 per share and marks the highest dividend ever declared by Maruti Suzuki, surpassing the Rs 135 per share paid in FY24-25.
For eligible shareholders, the record date for the dividend has been set for Friday, August 7, 2026. The actual payment of the dividend, if approved at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), is scheduled for September 9, 2026.
Strong Q4 FY26 Performance
Maruti Suzuki reported its highest-ever quarterly sales during the January-March 2026 period, with a total of 676,209 units sold, an 11.8 percent increase year-on-year. Domestic sales contributed 538,994 units, while exports reached an all-time high of 137,215 units.
The automaker also achieved record net sales for the quarter, climbing to Rs 50,078.7 crore. Operating profit saw a significant surge of 30.4 percent year-on-year, reaching a record Rs 4,409.2 crore.
