Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited on May 22, 2026, announced a select dividend of ₹9 per equity share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as approved by its board of directors alongside the declaration of Q4 FY26 financial results. The announcement was filed with NSE under ISIN INE685A01028.

Dividend Details and FY26 Total Payout

The ₹9 select dividend brings Torrent Pharma's total dividend payout for FY26 to ₹38 per share, combining the interim dividend of ₹29 per share declared on February 13, 2026, with today's select tranche. At the current market price of ₹4,497, the annualised dividend yield on the FY26 total payout stands at approximately 0.85%. The select dividend alone translates to a yield of 0.20% on the current price.

Year-on-Year Comparison

In FY25, Torrent Pharma had paid a combined total of ₹32 per share, comprising an interim dividend of ₹26 declared in January 2025 and a select dividend of ₹6 in May 2025. The FY26 total of ₹38 per share therefore represents a year-on-year increase of 18.75% in total dividend outflow. The select dividend component itself has risen from ₹6 in FY25 to ₹9 in FY26, a 50% increase in the final tranche alone.

Multi-Year Dividend Trend

Total annual dividends have grown by 72.7% over four years, indicating a deliberate policy of progressive payouts aligned with improving earnings visibility.
