This corporate action is a significant event for its shareholders. The Board of Directors approved this dividend in a meeting held on November 14, 2025.
The record date for determining the eligibility of shareholders to receive this interim dividend has been fixed as November 25, 2025.

However, sales experienced a slight decrease of 0.05%, amounting to Rs 321.94 crore in Q2 FY2025-26, down from Rs 322.10 crore in Q2 FY2024-25.
