CMPDIL Q2 FY27 Results: Board Meet, ₹1.05 Dividend

Company snapshot and why it matters

Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Ltd (CMPDIL), a Coal India subsidiary, operates as a mining consultancy offering services across the mining lifecycle, from exploration to mine closure. The company’s updates often draw investor attention because CMPDIL’s cash flows and payout decisions are closely watched for income visibility. Recent disclosures combine two market-moving items: quarterly financial results and a dividend decision. The company has also had multiple dividend events in FY2026-27, which makes record dates and ex-dates particularly relevant for shareholders. Alongside that, recent quarterly financials show sharp year-on-year changes in profit and revenue, which can influence expectations around payouts. The latest board meeting notice puts these points into a single, dated event.

Board meeting on 23 Oct 2026: results and dividend on agenda

CMPDIL disclosed a board meeting schedule for 23 October 2026 to consider un-audited standalone financial results for the quarter and half-year ended 30 September 2026. The same intimation states that the board will also consider a second interim dividend for FY 2026-27, if any. Separately, the dataset also reflects that Q2 FY27 standalone results were declared and a second interim dividend of ₹1.05 per share was announced, with a record date of 29 October 2026. This record date is the key cutoff for determining which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. The combination of results and dividend in a single meeting typically concentrates near-term attention around the announcement day and the record date. Investors also track whether the company repeats or changes dividend levels compared with earlier payouts in the same financial year.

Second interim dividend: amount and record date

As per the details provided, CMPDIL’s second interim dividend for FY2026-27 is ₹1.05 per share, with record date set for 29 October 2026. The dataset also shows the company’s dividend yield at 0.57% as a headline metric in the company snapshot. Dividend metrics can vary based on the price used and the specific period considered, so investors often cross-check yield calculations with the declared amount and prevailing market price. CMPDIL’s recent payout pattern shows multiple small dividends rather than a single large payout. That makes the sequence of corporate actions important for shareholders tracking eligibility across record dates.

Recent dividend track record in FY2026-27

CMPDIL has already declared dividends in FY2026-27 prior to the 23 October update. The corporate action table lists an interim dividend of ₹1.05 per share with an ex-date of 24 July 2026 and a final dividend of ₹1.06 per share with an ex-date of 10 August 2026. Another line item states that CMPDIL paid ₹2.11 per share in regular dividends in the 12 months to 23 October 2026, across two payments. That same data point indicates a yield of 1.14% at the close price of ₹184.95 on 22 October 2026. The last noted dividend in that 12-month window was ₹1.06 per share, with ex-date 10 August 2026.

What the June 2026 quarter numbers show

For the quarter ended 30 June 2026 (April to June 2026), CMPDIL reported revenue of ₹481 crore, up 17.6% from ₹409 crore in the year-ago quarter. Profit for the same quarter was reported at ₹116 crore, up 52.6% from ₹76.0 crore a year earlier. The dataset also states that CMPDIL earned ₹116 crore of net profit in the June 2026 quarter, reinforcing the same profit figure. In the quarter ending June 2026, CMPDIL declared a dividend of ₹1.05 per share on 20 July 2026, which was described as translating to a dividend yield of 1.11%. These figures provide recent context on operating momentum heading into FY2026-27.

Q4 FY2025-26 profit decline: a mixed picture

The dataset notes that CMPDIL’s net profit fell 32.19% year-on-year to ₹187.82 crore in Q4 FY2025-26. At the same time, it reports a quarterly growth of 8.77% in net profit versus the preceding three-month period. Taken together, these two statements describe a quarter where year-on-year comparison was weak, but sequential performance improved. Investors typically examine whether such trends are driven by operating performance, timing of projects, or cost movements, but the provided data does not specify drivers. What is clear is that profit movement has not been uniform across periods.

The following table reproduces the standalone indicator set provided for select quarters.

Corporate actions and key dates investors tracked

CMPDIL’s calendar of results and dividend events, as listed in the provided agenda table, is summarised below.

Market checks: price points around dividend events

The provided dataset includes last traded price (LTP) points around dividend corporate actions. For the 24 July 2026 dividend event, LTP was listed as ₹254.91 at announcement and ₹253.57 at record day. For the 10 August 2026 dividend event, LTP was listed as ₹188.75 at announcement and ₹250.10 at record day. These snapshots are often used by investors to contextualise dividend yields and short-term price moves, but they do not by themselves explain the reasons behind price changes. Separately, the yield calculation cited for the 12 months to 23 October 2026 was based on a close of ₹184.95 on 22 October 2026.

Dividend payout ratio history

The dataset includes a dividend payout percentage series across multiple financial years: 30% in Mar 2021, 0% in Mar 2022, 24% in Mar 2023, 0% in Mar 2024, 45% in Mar 2025, and 49% in Mar 2026. This shows that CMPDIL’s payout has not been consistent every year, with two years shown at 0%. More recently, the payout ratio increased in the two latest years shown (Mar 2025 and Mar 2026). Investors typically read this as a sign of willingness to return more profits to shareholders during those years, although sustainability depends on future earnings and board policy. The data provided does not state any change in formal dividend policy.

What to watch next

The key near-term milestone in the dataset is the record date of 29 October 2026 for the ₹1.05 per share second interim dividend tied to the Q2 FY27 update. Investors who track dividend eligibility will focus on shareholding status as of the record date and any subsequent exchange notices on ex-date and payment timelines, if issued. On the financial side, the June 2026 quarter showed higher revenue and sharply higher profit year-on-year, while Q4 FY2025-26 showed a year-on-year profit decline but sequential improvement. The next set of un-audited standalone results for the quarter and half-year ended 30 September 2026 will provide the most current read on operating trajectory. Any further corporate action announcements will likely follow the same timeline format already reflected in the company’s agenda disclosures.
