Britannia dividend 2025: ₹75 final, dates and yield

Dividend announcement at a glance

Britannia Industries Limited has recommended a final dividend of ₹75 per equity share (face value ₹1 each) for the financial year ended 31 March 2025. The company disclosed the decision following a Board meeting held on 8 May 2025. As per the corporate action details shared, the record date and the ex-dividend date are both set as 4 August 2025. The final dividend will be payable only if shareholders approve it at the company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). Britannia has fixed the date of its 106th AGM as Monday, 11 August 2025. The company also stated that the final dividend, if declared, will be paid within timelines prescribed under the law.

What the ₹75 per share dividend means

A ₹75 dividend on a ₹1 face value share is a cash payout to eligible shareholders, and the entitlement is linked to the record date. The dividend type is reported as “Equity Share” in the corporate action details. In another summary table provided, the dividend is classified as “Final” with a dividend yield of 1.29%. The same dividend per share is also shown in Britannia’s dividend history as ₹75.00, with an LTP figure of ₹5,798 in the table. Investors tracking corporate actions typically focus on the record date and ex-dividend date because they determine who is eligible for the payout.

Record date and ex-dividend date: eligibility rules

The record date is when Britannia identifies shareholders eligible to receive the dividend. The data provided states that registered shareholders who own Britannia’s shares on or before 4 August 2025 will be eligible to receive the dividend. It also states that investors will not be entitled to the payout if they purchase shares on or after the ex-dividend date of 4 August 2025. In this dataset, the record date and ex-date are the same: 4 August 2025. This alignment is explicitly shown across multiple tables and summaries, including the dividend details section and the dividend history table.

AGM approval and payout timeline

Britannia’s exchange filing notes that the Board has recommended the final dividend for FY25 and that it will be declared at the ensuing 106th AGM. The AGM is scheduled for Monday, 11 August 2025. The company’s note adds that payment will be made within the statutory timelines after approval. Separately, the dividend explainer text in the dataset says shareholders can expect the dividend to be credited to the bank account linked to the demat account within 25 to 45 business days after the record date. Another “Important Dates” table includes an estimated dividend credit date “By 10 September 2025 (est.)”, but the company’s own language is limited to statutory timelines.

Book closure window mentioned in the data

Alongside the record date and AGM date, the dataset also lists a book closure period from 5 August to 11 August 2025 (both inclusive). This book closure window appears in the “Key Highlights” section. Book closure is typically used for determining eligible shareholders for corporate actions, and the dates provided sit immediately after the record date and run through the AGM date.

Financial and quarterly context shared with the dividend

The dataset links the dividend announcement to Britannia’s reported performance metrics for FY25 and Q4. For FY25, it lists total revenue of ₹17,942.67 crore versus ₹16,769.27 crore in FY24. It also provides net profit of ₹2,177.86 crore for FY25 versus ₹2,134.22 crore in FY24, earnings per share (EPS) of ₹90.45, total comprehensive income of ₹2,184.12 crore, and cash from operating activities of ₹2,480.65 crore.

For the quarter referenced as Q4 results, the dataset states Britannia reported a 4% rise in consolidated net profit to ₹560 crore. It also states revenue from operations grew 9% to ₹4,432 crore for the quarter. The same Q4 note reiterates that the board declared a final dividend of ₹75 per equity share.

Market impact: what investors usually track for dividends

For dividend-focused investors, the most relevant inputs in the dataset are the ₹75 per share payout, the 4 August 2025 record date, and the matching ex-dividend date. These dates govern eligibility, and the dataset explicitly notes ineligibility for purchases made on or after the ex-date. Yield is shown at 1.29% in the latest dividend summary table, alongside an LTP of ₹5,798. The dataset also provides FY25 revenue and profitability figures, which investors may use to contextualise dividend capacity, including cash from operating activities of ₹2,480.65 crore.

Why this corporate action matters

The dividend is tied to shareholder approval at the 106th AGM on 11 August 2025, which is a clear next step. The record date and ex-date being the same, as presented, makes the timing of ownership particularly important for eligibility. The dataset also provides a multi-year dividend trail, allowing investors to compare the ₹75 payout against prior distributions like ₹73.50 (FY24) and ₹72.00 (interim, 2023). And while some timelines are described as estimates, the company’s filing emphasises payment within statutory limits after approval.

Conclusion

Britannia’s Board has recommended a ₹75 final dividend for FY25, with 4 August 2025 set as the record date and ex-dividend date, and the 106th AGM scheduled for 11 August 2025. The next milestone is shareholder approval at the AGM, after which the dividend will be paid within statutory timelines.
