Automobile Corp of Goa sets FY26 dividend AGM dates

Automobile Corporation of Goa Ltd (ACGL) has scheduled its 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Wednesday, July 22, 2026, and fixed Wednesday, July 15, 2026 as the record date for determining eligibility for its final dividend for FY26. The AGM will be held at 3:00 p.m. IST through video conferencing or other audio-visual means.

The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹22.50 per equity share of face value ₹10 each, which is 225% of face value. The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM and, if sanctioned, is expected to be paid on or before August 20, 2026, with tax deducted at source (TDS) as applicable.

Key announcement: record date and FY26 final dividend

ACGL’s record date of July 15, 2026 determines which shareholders will be eligible to receive the final dividend. Only shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register of members as of that date will be entitled to the payout, subject to approval at the AGM.

For FY26, the board’s recommended final dividend of ₹22.50 per share comes on top of an interim dividend of ₹5.00 per share already paid. This takes the total dividend for the year to ₹27.50 per share.

The company disclosed that the total dividend payout for the year amounts to ₹16.7437 crore (₹1,674.37 lakh), representing 23.89% of profit after tax.

AGM schedule and format

The 46th AGM is scheduled for July 22, 2026 (Wednesday) at 3:00 p.m. IST via video conferencing. ACGL also submitted its 46th Annual Report for FY 2025-26, including the notice convening the AGM.

Attendance through video conferencing or other audio-visual means will be counted for quorum purposes under Section 103 of the Companies Act, 2013, as stated in the meeting-related disclosure.
