Bajaj Auto dividend 2026: ₹150 record date May 29

Key announcement at a glance

Bajaj Auto has declared a dividend of ₹150.00 per share. The company has set Friday, 29 May 2026 as both the record date and the ex-dividend date for this payout. The dividend is described as a 1,500% payout on equity shares of face value ₹10 each for the financial year ended 31 March 2026 (FY26).

For investors tracking entitlement, the record date matters because it determines which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is the cut-off in market trading terms, and the information provided clearly states that purchases on or after 29 May 2026 will not be entitled to the payout.

Dividend amount, face value, and payout description

The board of Bajaj Auto recommended a final dividend of ₹150 per equity share (face value ₹10). The dividend is repeatedly described as “final” for FY26 and as a 1,500% payout, aligning with the face value based percentage convention.

The data also notes that in the quarter ending March 2026, Bajaj Auto Ltd declared a dividend of ₹150.00, and one dataset links this to a dividend yield of 3.41%. Another set of dividend-related ratios included “Annual dividend payment: ₹360.00” alongside the current yield figure, without further breakdown in the provided text.

Record date and ex-dividend date: what decides eligibility

Bajaj Auto has fixed 29 May 2026 as the record date to identify shareholders eligible for the dividend. Registered shareholders who own Bajaj Auto shares on or before the record date are eligible to receive the dividend.

The same date, 29 May 2026, is also stated as the ex-dividend date. The provided text is explicit on entitlement: you will not be entitled to the payout if you purchase shares on or after the ex-dividend date of 29 May 2026.

Approval requirement at the AGM

The dividend is not unconditional. Bajaj Auto stated the dividend will be paid only if shareholders approve it at the ensuing Annual General Meeting (AGM). Multiple excerpts reiterate that the dividend is “subject to shareholder approval” at the AGM.

This approval step is a standard procedural requirement for final dividends, and the company’s timeline references in the provided information are tied to this condition.

Payment and credit timelines mentioned

The payment timeline appears in more than one form across the provided data:

• One excerpt states that, if approved by shareholders, the dividend is expected to be credited or dispatched on or around 24 July 2026.
• Another excerpt says investors can expect the dividend in the bank account linked to the Demat account within 25 to 45 business days after the record date of 29 May 2026.
• A separate line states: “Annual dividend of INR 150.0000 per share payable on August 20, 2026,” with the same ex-date and record date of 29 May 2026.

These references indicate a broad window for receipt, with two specific dates mentioned (around 24 July 2026, and 20 August 2026) and one range-based expectation (25 to 45 business days after the record date). The information provided does not reconcile these timelines, so readers should track the company’s official communication around the AGM and payout schedule.

The provided information also references other companies that have outlined sizeable FY2025-26 dividends after Q4FY26 updates, listing Maruti Suzuki (₹140), Bajaj Auto (₹150), and MRF (₹229 final and ₹235 total).

What investors should watch next

Based on the provided text, the key next checkpoint is shareholder approval at Bajaj Auto’s AGM. Investors tracking entitlement should focus on the record date and ex-dividend date, both stated as 29 May 2026.

For receipt of funds, the information provides multiple timeline references, including “on or around 24 July 2026,” “25 to 45 business days after the record date,” and a separate mention of “payable on August 20, 2026.” The clearest next step is to follow the company’s AGM outcome and subsequent dividend payment update.
