CRISIL AGM 2026: ₹61 Dividend Plan and FY25 Results

AGM notice sets April 17, 2026 meeting date

CRISIL Limited has published the notice for its 39th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for April 17, 2026. The meeting will be conducted through video conferencing (VC) or other audio-visual means (OAVM), as stated in the company’s disclosures. The notice was also published in newspapers including Financial Express and Sakal on March 24, 2026, and the company said this was communicated to BSE and NSE. The AGM agenda includes shareholder consideration of the company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. It also includes approval items connected to dividend distribution and leadership re-appointments.

CRISIL’s board decisions related to the AGM and the audited results were taken at a board meeting held on February 13, 2026. The company reported that the meeting began at 10:30 a.m. IST and concluded at 4:30 p.m. IST. Alongside the AGM notice, CRISIL also referred to its Integrated Annual Report for fiscal 2025, presenting business and sustainability updates.

Final dividend of ₹28 per share placed for shareholder approval

CRISIL’s board has recommended a final dividend of ₹28 per equity share (face value Re 1 each) for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The company also stated that it paid three interim dividends aggregating ₹33 per equity share during the year ended December 31, 2025. Together, the final and interim dividends would take the total dividend for the year to ₹61 per share. The company compared this with a total dividend of ₹56 per share in the previous year (2024).

The dividend proposal is a key item for shareholders because it consolidates the payout already made through interim dividends with the final dividend recommended by the board. Separately, CRISIL has also been referenced in reports that noted an interim dividend of ₹16 declared on October 17, 2025 (described as a “third interim dividend” in the provided context). Another interim dividend of ₹8 per share is also referenced for FY25 in the provided material.

Dividend payment date and record date disclosures

The AGM notice-related disclosures state that, if approved by members, the final dividend payment is scheduled for April 23, 2026. The recommendation date for the final dividend is stated as February 13, 2026.

A separate exchange-related line in the provided context mentions a record date of April 3, 2026 for the dividend. At the same time, another media-style excerpt in the provided text says the record date had not been announced yet. Based on the information provided, CRISIL has clearly laid out the final dividend amount and the proposed payment date, while record date references vary across excerpts included in the source material.

Remote e-voting window and cut-off date for the AGM

CRISIL’s AGM notice includes specific dates for shareholder participation through e-voting. The cut-off date mentioned is April 10, 2026. Remote e-voting is scheduled to start on April 13, 2026 at 9:00 AM IST and end on April 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM IST.

These dates matter for shareholders planning to vote on the final dividend and other resolutions, including re-appointments. CRISIL also said that AGM documents were dispatched to shareholders and are available across multiple platforms for access.

Audited FY25 financial results approved with unmodified opinion

CRISIL’s board approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. The company stated that the statutory auditors issued an unmodified audit opinion on both standalone and consolidated results for FY25. In the provided material, the statutory auditor is named as Walker Chandiok & Co. LLP.

For FY25, CRISIL reported consolidated revenue from operations of ₹3,649.01 crore, up 11.9% year-on-year. Net profit for FY25 stood at ₹766.01 crore, up 12.0% from ₹684.07 crore in FY24. Profit before tax (PBT) increased 12.4% to ₹1,041 crore in FY25. The company also reported basic and diluted EPS of ₹104.75 for FY25, compared with ₹93.55 in FY24.

The provided text also includes a consolidated “Total Income” figure of ₹3,755.55 crore for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with ₹3,349.42 crore in the previous year. This is presented separately from “revenue from operations” and is reported as part of the financial highlights.

Q4 FY25 performance: revenue up 18.5%, PAT up 7.5%

For Q4 FY25 (October to December 2025 quarter, based on the fiscal year-end provided), CRISIL reported consolidated revenue of ₹1,081.57 crore, up 18.5% year-over-year. Profit after tax (PAT) for the quarter was ₹241.50 crore, up 7.5% year-over-year.

These quarterly figures were presented alongside the full-year numbers to show the pace of growth into the year-end. The results were approved under Regulation 33 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, according to the provided context.

Leadership re-appointments placed for shareholder approval

CRISIL’s board approved the re-appointment of Mr. Amish Mehta as Managing Director and CEO for a further term of three years from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2029. It also approved the re-appointment of Mr. Amar Raj Bindra as an Independent Director for a further term of five years from December 1, 2026 to November 30, 2031. Both re-appointments are subject to shareholder approval.

These resolutions are part of the AGM agenda and are being taken to members through the notice. The approvals align the company’s leadership continuity plans with the timing of the next term periods stated in the filings.

Acquisition of PriceMetrix Co. and analytics expansion

CRISIL stated that it completed the acquisition of PriceMetrix Co. to scale up wealth management analytics. The company also highlighted that it is expanding analytics and risk solutions globally, as part of its broader business strategy.

In the same set of disclosures, CRISIL said it delivered resilient performance in FY25 amid macroeconomic uncertainty, while maintaining leadership in corporate bond ratings. The strategic emphasis on analytics and risk solutions, coupled with the PriceMetrix acquisition, positions the company’s growth narrative around data-led offerings in addition to its ratings franchise.

What the AGM agenda means for shareholders

For shareholders, the AGM has three practical decision points based on the provided information. First, members will vote on the final dividend of ₹28 per share, which would complete the stated ₹61 per share total payout for the year ended December 31, 2025 when combined with interim dividends already paid. Second, shareholders will review the audited financial statements that carry an unmodified audit opinion. Third, they will vote on the re-appointments of the MD and CEO and an Independent Director, as proposed by the board.

The timeline also matters. Investors who want to participate in voting will need to note the April 10, 2026 cut-off date and the remote e-voting window from April 13 to April 16, 2026. If the dividend resolution is approved, CRISIL has scheduled payment for April 23, 2026.

Conclusion

CRISIL’s 39th AGM on April 17, 2026 brings together the company’s FY25 financial performance, dividend distribution plan, and key governance resolutions. The board has recommended a ₹28 final dividend, which would take the total dividend for the year ended December 31, 2025 to ₹61 per share after including interim dividends aggregating ₹33 per share. CRISIL has also reported FY25 consolidated revenue from operations of ₹3,649.01 crore and PAT of ₹766.01 crore, with Q4 revenue at ₹1,081.57 crore and Q4 PAT at ₹241.50 crore.

The next confirmed milestone is the shareholder vote at the AGM, followed by the proposed dividend payment date of April 23, 2026, subject to member approval.
