The company said the dividend is 100 percent on equity shares, with a face value of ₹2 each, fully paid-up. The dividend recommendation was disclosed through a regulatory filing. Like all final dividends, it remains subject to shareholder approval. Investors tracking dividend timelines will need to focus on the record date and ex-dividend date disclosed by the company.

Dividend amount and type

The declared dividend is ₹2.00 per share and is classified as a final dividend on equity shares. Ambuja Cements’ disclosures describe it as a cash dividend. The company also refers to it as a 100 percent dividend because the payout equals the face value of the share. For shareholders, the practical takeaway is the per-share cash amount and the eligibility date. The dividend, if approved, will be paid after the AGM as per the company’s schedule.

Record date and ex-dividend date

Ambuja Cements has fixed Friday, June 12, 2026, as the record date to determine which shareholders are entitled to receive the dividend for FY26. The ex-dividend date is also June 12, 2026. The company has stated that shareholders who own the shares on or before the record date are eligible. It has also clarified that investors purchasing shares on or after the ex-dividend date of June 12, 2026, will not be entitled to the dividend payout.

When the dividend will be paid

The company has stated that the dividend will be paid on or after Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to eligible shareholders, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. Separately, the article also notes that investors can expect the dividend to be credited to the bank account linked with their demat account within 25 to 45 business days after the record date. The company has also noted that the payout will be subject to tax deduction at source (TDS), as applicable.
