Havells India Limited submitted its financial results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026 to the National Stock Exchange on October 22, 2026, following a board meeting held the same day. The filing comes as the company maintains a consistent two-tranche dividend structure that has delivered a combined ₹10 per equity share annually for the past two fiscal years.
Dividend Structure and Recent Payouts
For FY26, Havells India's board declared an interim dividend of ₹4 per equity share on January 19, 2026, and followed it with a recommended final dividend of ₹6 per equity share on April 22, 2026. This brings the total FY26 payout to ₹10 per equity share, consistent with FY25, when the company similarly paid ₹4 interim (January 2025) and ₹6 final (April 2025), totalling ₹10 per share.
With trade and quote data unavailable at the time of this filing, a precise dividend yield calculation cannot be published. Investors should compute yield by dividing the total annual dividend of ₹10 by the prevailing market price at the time of their assessment.
Dividend Trend Analysis: Four Years of Data
The dividend history filed with NSE reveals a clear and sustained upward trajectory in shareholder payouts over recent years:
- FY22: ₹4.50 per share (single final dividend, May 2022); no separately declared interim on record for this cycle
- FY22-23: ₹3 interim (January 2023) plus ₹4.50 final (May 2023), totalling ₹7.50 per share
- FY24: ₹3 interim (January 2024) plus ₹6 final (April 2024), totalling ₹9 per share
- FY25: ₹4 interim (January 2025) plus ₹6 final (April 2025), totalling ₹10 per share
- FY26: ₹4 interim (January 2026) plus ₹6 final (April 2026), totalling ₹10 per share
The data shows that total annual dividends grew from ₹7.50 per share in FY23 to ₹9 per share in FY24, before settling at ₹10 per share across both FY25 and FY26. This represents a 33% increase in total annual dividend from FY23 to FY26, with the payout stabilising at the ₹10 level over the most recent two fiscal years.
Payout Pattern: Consistency as a Signal
A notable feature of Havells India's dividend policy is the regularity of its two-tranche structure. Since at least FY23, the company has consistently declared an interim dividend in January and a larger final dividend following the full-year results in April or May. The interim component increased from ₹3 per share in FY23 and FY24 to ₹4 per share in FY25 and FY26, while the final dividend has held firm at ₹6 per share for three consecutive years, indicating a degree of discipline in capital return planning.
What the Q2 FY27 Filing Means for Investors
The October 22 board meeting was convened to review and approve the September 2026 quarter results. Based on the established pattern, investors will likely watch for an interim dividend announcement in January 2027 for the current fiscal year. The consistency of the ₹4 interim payout in both FY25 and FY26 provides a reference point, though no board decision has been announced for FY27 as of this filing date.
Havells India, a leading Indian electrical equipment manufacturer with businesses spanning switchgear, cables, lighting, and consumer durables, has a face value of ₹1 per equity share. The ISIN for the company's equity shares is INE176B01018, listed on NSE under the symbol HAVELLS.
