HeidelbergCement India Announces 67th AGM and Dividend Payout

HeidelbergCement India has scheduled its 67th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 24, 2026, and proposed a dividend of Rs 7 per share.

Reader Takeaway: Investors must hold shares by September 11 to receive the Rs 7 dividend; e-voting starts September 21.

What just happened

The company officially notified shareholders that its 67th AGM will take place on September 24, 2026, via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means. A key highlight for shareholders is the proposed dividend of Rs 7 per equity share, which represents 70% of the Rs 10 face value. The company has fixed September 11, 2026, as the record date for determining eligibility for this payout.

Why this matters

The dividend announcement provides immediate cash-flow clarity for long-term holders. Additionally, the AGM agenda includes governance-related votes that impact board composition, specifically the proposed second five-year term for Independent Director Ms. Jyoti Narang. The company is also seeking member approval for the remuneration of its cost auditor, M/s. R.J. Goel & Co., set at Rs 3,00,000.

Voting and Participation

To facilitate shareholder participation, the company has enabled a remote e-voting period from September 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM through September 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The cut-off date for voting eligibility is September 17, 2026. Shareholders who do not exercise their remote e-voting rights will have the opportunity to vote during the live AGM session via the NSDL platform.

What to track next

Shareholders should ensure their bank account details are correctly updated with their Depository Participant or the Registrar and Transfer Agent to prevent delays in dividend processing. If approved at the AGM, the dividend is expected to be disbursed within 30 days.
