Man Infraconstruction Limited (NSE: MANINFRA) announced on May 13, 2026, that its board of directors has declared an interim dividend of ₹0.72 per equity share for FY2026-27, alongside the release of audited financial results for the quarter and full year ended March 31, 2026. The payout marks a 60% increase over the first interim dividend of ₹0.45 per share declared in May 2025 for FY2025-26, signalling an intent to raise shareholder returns at the start of the new financial year.
Dividend Details and Yield
At the current market price of ₹127.00 per share, the declared interim dividend of ₹0.72 translates to an annualised yield of approximately 0.57% on this single tranche alone. The company's total dividend outgo for FY2025-26 stood at ₹0.90 per share, comprising a first interim of ₹0.45 in May 2025 and a second interim of ₹0.45 in November 2025. With the FY2026-27 first interim already at ₹0.72, the full-year payout for FY27 is tracking materially above the prior year's total, assuming a similar two-tranche structure continues.
Dividend History and Trend
A review of the company's dividend history over the past three financial years reveals a consistent upward trajectory:
- FY2022-23: Multiple tranches totalling ₹1.08 per share (₹0.36 in May 2023, ₹0.36 in July 2023, ₹0.36 in November 2023)
- FY2023-24: Included a fourth interim of ₹0.54 per share in February 2024, with total payouts stepping up from the FY23 base
- FY2024-25: Two tranches of ₹0.45 each (February 2025 second interim and May 2025 first interim for FY26) reflecting a total of ₹0.90 per share for the full year
- FY2025-26: Total of ₹0.90 per share across two tranches of ₹0.45 each
- FY2026-27: First interim declared at ₹0.72, already 60% ahead of the comparable prior-year first tranche
The trend confirms a company that has maintained uninterrupted interim dividend payouts across multiple cycles, with per-share quantum now clearly moving higher.
