Apollo Pipes Limited convened a Board of Directors meeting on August 31, 2026, as disclosed to the National Stock Exchange, with the exchange filing timestamped at 14:20 IST. The announcement, categorised as an outcome of a board meeting, follows the company's earlier dividend declaration for FY2026 made on May 7, 2026.
Dividend Declaration: FY2026 Details
The Board of Apollo Pipes, at its May 7, 2026 meeting, recommended a final dividend of ₹0.70 per equity share of face value ₹10 each for the financial year ended March 2026. This figure is identical to the ₹0.70 per share declared for FY2025, signalling no improvement in shareholder payouts on a year-on-year basis.
With market price data unavailable at the time of this report (quote feed returned null), a precise dividend yield calculation cannot be provided. Investors are advised to compute yield as ₹0.70 divided by the prevailing market price to arrive at the current yield percentage.
Five-Year Dividend History: A Stagnant Picture
A review of Apollo Pipes' dividend announcements over the past five financial years reveals a pattern of limited progression:
- FY2022: ₹1.00 per share (declared May 6, 2022)
- FY2023: ₹0.60 per share (declared May 8, 2023)
- FY2024: ₹1.00 per share (declared May 20, 2024)
- FY2025: ₹0.70 per share (declared May 10, 2025)
- FY2026: ₹0.70 per share (declared May 7, 2026)
The data shows that per-share payouts have oscillated between ₹0.60 and ₹1.00 over five years, with no sustained upward trajectory. The FY2026 dividend is 30% below the ₹1.00 paid in FY2024 and represents the second consecutive year at the ₹0.70 level. For income-focused investors, the absence of dividend growth over this period is a notable data point.
