AVT Natural Products Limited (NSE: AVTNPL) informed the exchange on June 9, 2026, that its Board of Directors convened a meeting on the same date, with the outcome communicated to the bourses at 11:00 AM. While the detailed specifics of the June 9 board resolution are pending further disclosure, the announcement comes against a backdrop of a consistent and multi-year dividend distribution track record that investors in this specialty naturals company have come to recognize.
Most Recent Dividend: ₹0.35 Per Share in February 2026
The company's most recent capital return to shareholders was an interim dividend of ₹0.35 per equity share, declared at the board meeting held on February 11, 2026. This represented a 16.7% increase over the interim dividend of ₹0.30 per share declared on February 12, 2025, signaling a modest but directionally positive step-up in near-term cash returns. The face value of AVT Natural Products equity shares is ₹1 per share, making these dividends reflective of the company's actual per-unit earnings distribution rather than a face-value-adjusted figure.
Dividend History: A Multi-Year Pattern
A review of AVTNPL's dividend announcements over the past five fiscal years reveals a structured two-tranche approach, combining interim dividends declared in February with final dividends recommended in May or June. Key data points from the history are as follows:
- FY2025-26: Interim dividend of ₹0.35 per share (Feb 2026); final dividend outcome pending from the June 9, 2026 board meeting
- FY2024-25: Interim dividend of ₹0.30 per share (Feb 2025); final dividend of ₹0.50 per share (May 2024) pertained to FY2023-24, making the combined FY2024-25 payout ₹0.30 at the interim stage
- FY2023-24: Interim dividend of ₹0.30 per share (Feb 2024) and final dividend of ₹0.50 per share (May 2024), totalling ₹0.80 per share for the full year
- FY2022-23: Interim dividend of ₹0.40 per share (Feb 2023) and final dividend of ₹0.60 per share (May 2023), totalling ₹1.00 per share
- FY2021-22: Interim dividend of ₹0.40 per share (Feb 2022) and final dividend of ₹0.60 per share (May 2022), totalling ₹1.00 per share
- FY2020-21: Final dividend of ₹0.40 per share (Jun 2021)
The data indicates that FY2022-23 and FY2021-22 were the peak payout years at ₹1.00 per share each. The combined payout appears to have moderated in FY2023-24 to ₹0.80 per share, though the trajectory of the FY2025-26 full-year payout will depend heavily on what the June 9, 2026 board meeting has resolved regarding a final dividend.
Dividend Yield Context
With the June 9, 2026 board meeting outcome yet to be detailed fully and no current trade data available via the exchange feed at the time of this report, a precise real-time dividend yield calculation cannot be confirmed. However, using the last declared interim dividend of ₹0.35 per share on an annualised basis alongside the company's 52-week trading range, investors should note that AVTNPL has historically traded in a range reflective of a small-cap specialty chemicals and natural extracts business. Any final dividend declared from the June 9 meeting would add directly to the full-year yield figure for FY2025-26.
Company Background
AVT Natural Products Limited is part of the AVT group and is engaged in the manufacture and export of natural food colours, herbal extracts, and oleoresins, primarily derived from marigold flowers and other botanical sources. The company serves global nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical industries, with exports forming a significant portion of revenues. Its consistent interim-plus-final dividend structure over the past several years reflects relatively stable cash generation from its export-oriented operations.
What Investors Should Watch
The key disclosure to monitor is the specific outcome of the June 9, 2026 board meeting, particularly whether a final dividend for FY2025-26 has been recommended. If the company follows its historical two-tranche pattern, a final dividend announcement in this meeting would complete the full-year payout picture. Investors tracking total annual yield should aggregate the February 2026 interim of ₹0.35 per share with any final dividend figure once officially disclosed to the exchanges.
