According to latest reports, Maruti Suzuki India has set August 7, 2026, as the ex-date for its final dividend distribution. Shareholders whose names appear in the company's register on or after this date will be eligible to receive the ₹140 per share dividend payout. The dividend was recommended by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on April 28, 2026, and remains subject to approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. For investors to be eligible, their shares must be in their demat account before the ex-date, as reported by Moneycontrol.
The ₹140 per share dividend for FY26 represents a 3.70% increase over the previous year's ₹135 per share, marking continued growth in shareholder returns. This year's payout follows a consistent upward trend: ₹125 per share in FY24, ₹90 per share in FY23, ₹60 per share in FY22, and ₹135 per share in FY25. The dividend yield, based on the previous closing price of ₹14,190.00 and the ₹140 dividend, stands at approximately 0.99%. With a significant market capitalization of ₹4,46,137.25 crore, Maruti Suzuki continues to be a prominent player in the Indian automotive sector.

The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,83,316 crore for FY26, demonstrating a healthy year-on-year growth of nearly 19.88% from ₹1,52,913 crore in FY25. While consolidated net profit grew modestly by 0.97% to ₹14,394 crore in FY26 from ₹14,256 crore in FY25, it underscores sustained profitability. The company's Earnings Per Share (EPS) for FY26 stood at ₹466.90, slightly up from ₹461.20 in FY25. For the quarter ending June 2026, Maruti Suzuki reported a consolidated net profit of ₹3,349.20 crore, showing some quarterly fluctuations but generally strong operational metrics.
According to Moneycontrol, shares of Maruti Suzuki closed at ₹14,190.00 per share in the previous trading session, registering a gain of 0.16%. The stock has demonstrated resilience in the market, with the announcement of consistent and growing dividend payouts often signaling confidence from management regarding future earnings and cash flows. The stock reached its 52-week high level on September 18, 2025 at ₹17,371.60 per share, while the 52-week low came in at ₹12,202.10 on June 12, 2026.
