Ambuja Cements Dividend 2025: Record Date, ₹2 Payout

Dividend announcement in focus

Ambuja Cements has declared a dividend of ₹2.00 per equity share. The company has set 13-Jun-2025 as the record date, and the ex-dividend date is also 13-Jun-2025. The dividend is classified as an Equity Share dividend, and it has been positioned as part of Ambuja Cements’ regular shareholder distribution approach.

The record date matters because it determines which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. Investors tracking the payout should align their purchase timing with the exchange settlement cycle, which is relevant when the ex-date and record date are the same.

Key dates investors need to track

Ambuja Cements’ dividend calendar for this payout has all key dates falling on June 13, 2025. In addition, the company has clarified the timeline for payment, subject to shareholder approval.

As per the information provided, June 12 is marked as the last day to buy Ambuja Cements shares to be eligible for the dividend, considering the T+1 settlement rule. Shares bought on or after June 13 would not qualify for this final dividend.

Dividend details at a glance

Board recommendation and regulatory disclosure

The dividend recommendation came out of the Board Meeting held on 29 April 2025. Ambuja Cements stated in an exchange filing that the Board recommended a dividend of ₹2.00 per equity share of face value ₹2 each, fully paid-up, for FY2024-25, subject to shareholder approval.

The company also communicated that the record date was fixed in line with Regulation 42 of the SEBI Listing Regulations. As stated, the dividend, if approved by shareholders at the ensuing AGM, shall be paid on or after 1 July 2025, and will be subject to deduction of tax at source (TDS) as applicable.

What the dividend implies for eligibility

Because the record date and ex-dividend date are both June 13, 2025, investor eligibility is tied to the settlement mechanism. The provided note highlights that June 12 is the last trading day to buy shares to be considered a shareholder on the record date under T+1 settlement.

This is a practical detail for investors who plan purchases around dividend events. Buying on the record date itself does not ensure eligibility when the security turns ex-dividend on that day.
