Sanghvi Movers Limited, India's largest crane rental company, announced a final dividend of ₹2 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, following a board meeting on May 20, 2026, where audited standalone and consolidated financial results were also approved. The dividend represents a payout of 100% on the face value of ₹2 per share.

Dividend Details and Yield

At the current market price of ₹322.90, the declared dividend translates to a dividend yield of approximately 0.62%. The payout is subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The company has not yet announced the record date for this dividend.

Comparison to Previous Payouts

The ₹2 per share dividend for FY26 marks a significant step down from recent history. The company had declared ₹4 per share as a final dividend in May 2023 for FY23, and ₹1 per share for FY22. Going further back, the board declared ₹4 per share for FY17, ₹3 per share as an interim dividend for FY16, and ₹3 per share each for FY12 and FY11. The dividend history reveals a highly inconsistent payout pattern with no clear upward trajectory over the past decade, signalling that distributions are likely tied closely to the company's annual earnings performance and capital allocation priorities in a capital-intensive leasing business.
