Ramco Industries Limited has announced a final dividend of Re. 1 per equity share of face value Re. 1 each for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, following a board meeting held on May 27, 2026. The announcement came alongside the submission of audited financial results for FY26 to the NSE.
Dividend Details
- Dividend per share: Re. 1.00 (face value Re. 1.00, representing 100% on face value)
- Dividend type: Final dividend, subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing Annual General Meeting
- Previous year (FY25): Re. 1.00 per share, declared May 23, 2025
- Year-on-year change: Unchanged
With no current price data available from NSE at the time of this report, a precise dividend yield cannot be calculated. Investors should note the dividend yield at any given price equals Re. 1.00 divided by the prevailing market price. At a hypothetical price of ₹200, for instance, the yield would stand at approximately 0.50%, which is modest relative to broader market benchmarks.
Dividend History and Trend Analysis
A review of Ramco Industries' dividend history over the past decade reveals a clear two-phase trajectory. The company paid Re. 0.30 per share in FY15, then held at Re. 0.50 per share consistently from FY16 through FY19. A doubling of the payout occurred in FY21, when an interim dividend of Re. 1.00 per share was declared in March 2021. Since then, the payout has remained anchored at Re. 1.00 per share, having been maintained across FY22, FY23, FY25, and now FY26.
- FY15: Re. 0.30 per share
- FY16 to FY19: Re. 0.50 per share (consistent for four years)
- FY20: Re. 0.50 per share (interim)
- FY21: Re. 1.00 per share (interim, step-up)
- FY22: Re. 1.00 per share
- FY23: Re. 1.00 per share
- FY24: No dividend announcement found in available NSE data
- FY25: Re. 1.00 per share
- FY26: Re. 1.00 per share
Notably, no dividend announcement was identified for FY24 in the available exchange data, which investors may wish to verify independently through the company's annual filings.
Company Background
Ramco Industries Limited, part of the Chennai-based Ramco Group, is engaged primarily in the manufacture of fibre cement boards, asbestos cement sheets, and related building materials. The company also has interests in wind energy generation. It trades on the NSE under the symbol RAMCOIND with ISIN INE614A01028.
What This Means for Investors
The flat Re. 1.00 dividend for FY26 signals a stable but non-growing income distribution policy. For income-focused investors, the payout has now been held at the same level for four of the last five fiscal years, suggesting management prioritises capital retention or reinvestment over dividend growth. The absence of a dividend hike, despite the step-up seen in FY21, may indicate a conservative capital allocation stance. Investors tracking total shareholder returns should weigh the dividend contribution against price performance and the company's earnings trajectory as disclosed in the FY26 financial results submitted to the exchange on May 27, 2026.
