Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has proposed a 200% final dividend of ₹10 per share for its shareholders, representing twice the face value of each equity share. According to reports from The Financial Express, the company has set August 14, 2026 as the record date for dividend eligibility. The proposal will be voted on at HAL's 63rd Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 28, 2026, which will be conducted online through video conferencing.
Shareholders holding HAL shares as of the August 14 record date will be eligible to receive the dividend payout. As reported by The Financial Express, the company has up to 30 days from the AGM approval date to release the funds, meaning investors should expect the payment sometime in the second half of September 2026. The dividend applies to shares with a face value of ₹5 each.
HAL has maintained regular dividend payments through both interim and final dividends in recent years. According to The Financial Express, the company paid an interim dividend of ₹35 per share in 2026 with February 18 as the record date. In 2025, HAL distributed a final dividend of ₹15 per share following an interim dividend of ₹25 per share. The previous year saw similar payouts with a final dividend of ₹13 per share in 2024 and an interim dividend of ₹22 per share.
The dividend announcement coincides with HAL's Q1 FY27 financial results scheduled for August 12, 2026. As reported by The Financial Express, this puts the results just ahead of the August 14 record date, providing investors with comprehensive financial information before the dividend eligibility cutoff.
HAL's stock has shown positive momentum across multiple timeframes. According to The Financial Express, the stock has gained 5% over the last five trading days and 8% over the past month. Over a six-month period, the gain stands at 18%, while the full-year performance shows a 10% increase. The company currently maintains a market capitalisation of around ₹3.27 lakh crore and trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 35.85.
