Solar Industries India Limited announced its financial results for the period ended March 31, 2026, at a board meeting held on May 15, 2026. The company, listed on NSE under the symbol SOLARINDS, declared a final dividend of ₹10.00 per equity share for FY26, marking an 17.6% increase over the ₹8.50 per share paid in FY25 and continuing an unbroken streak of dividend growth stretching back to FY21.

Dividend Details

The FY26 final dividend of ₹10.00 per equity share compares with ₹8.50 in FY25, ₹8.00 in FY23, ₹7.50 in FY22, and ₹6.00 in FY21. The face value of each equity share is ₹2, making the FY26 payout equivalent to 500% on face value. At the current market price of ₹17,270, the dividend translates to a dividend yield of approximately 0.058%, which is characteristic of a high-growth, capital-reinvestment-oriented business where share price appreciation has significantly outpaced dividend growth.

Dividend Growth Trend

Solar Industries has demonstrated a consistent and accelerating dividend growth trajectory over the past decade. The per-share payout history is as follows:

From FY21 to FY26, the annual dividend per share has grown by 66.7%, while from FY18 to FY26, the cumulative increase stands at 66.7%. The step-up from ₹8.50 to ₹10.00 in a single year is the largest absolute year-on-year increase recorded in this history, signalling a meaningful improvement in distributable earnings.
