Deepak Fertilisers AGM 2026: ₹10 Dividend, Key Dates

Announcement overview

Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (DFPCL) has scheduled its 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 1, 2026. The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹10 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.

The AGM will be conducted through Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means (VC/OAVM). The company said this is in line with the relevant Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and SEBI requirements, enabling shareholders to participate remotely.

Alongside the AGM timeline, DFPCL has also issued communication around compliance requirements for dividend-related tax withholding and the documentation investors should complete within specified deadlines.

Dividend recommendation for FY26

The proposed payout is ₹10 per share, described by the company as 100% of face value. The recommendation was made by the Board at its meeting held on May 28, 2026.

As with standard corporate actions, the dividend will be paid only after shareholders approve it at the AGM. If approved, DFPCL said the dividend will be paid on or before September 30, 2026.

The company’s disclosures also reference that it approved audited standalone and consolidated financial results for Q4 and FY26, and reiterated the FY26 dividend recommendation in the same set of updates.

Record date and book closure window

For investors tracking eligibility, DFPCL has provided both the record date and the book closure period.

• The record date is August 25, 2026.
• The book closure runs from August 26, 2026 to September 1, 2026 (both days inclusive).

Shareholders holding shares as of the record date will be eligible to receive the dividend, subject to AGM approval. The book closure period also determines voting rights for the AGM.

Key dates at a glance

TDS, PAN-Aadhaar, and other compliance requirements

DFPCL has also communicated requirements related to Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on the proposed dividend. The company said shareholders should complete mandatory documentation, including PAN-Aadhaar linkage and residential status updates, by August 17, 2026 to ensure appropriate tax withholding.

The communication positions this as a practical step for investors to avoid higher tax deductions that may apply when documentation is incomplete or not updated.

Separately, the company highlighted KYC updates for physical shareholders. It said physical shareholders should update details such as PAN and bank account information to support smooth dividend processing.

AGM participation: VC/OAVM and remote e-voting

The 46th AGM is planned via VC/OAVM, allowing shareholders to attend and vote remotely.

DFPCL said remote e-voting will be available for all resolutions in the AGM notice. Members can vote electronically prior to the meeting and also during the VC/OAVM session, as per the process outlined in the AGM documents.

These arrangements reflect the ongoing shift in India toward electronic shareholder participation for large listed companies, particularly where regulators have provided frameworks for digital meetings and voting.

Notice and annual report distribution

In line with SEBI circulars, the company said the Notice of the 46th AGM and the Annual Report for FY26 have been dispatched electronically to members with registered email addresses.

For shareholders without registered email addresses, DFPCL said they will receive a letter containing a weblink to download the documents from the company website. Physical copies are available only on request. The company referenced KFin Technologies Limited as the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA) for relevant shareholder servicing.

Financial context: record Q1FY27 profit and FY26 numbers

The AGM and dividend updates come after DFPCL reported a record Q1FY27 net profit of ₹490 crore (quarter ended June 30, 2026), as cited in the shared information.

The income statement data shared alongside the disclosures (presented in INR millions) shows:

• FY26 revenue: ₹11,506.03 crore (from 115,060.3 million)
• FY25 revenue: ₹10,274.42 crore (from 102,744.2 million)
• FY24 revenue: ₹8,676.09 crore (from 86,760.9 million)

And profitability figures in the same dataset:

• FY26 net income: ₹737.25 crore (from 7,372.5 million)
• FY25 net income: ₹933.59 crore (from 9,335.9 million)
• FY24 net income: ₹452.84 crore (from 4,528.4 million)

The same set of figures also lists FY26 total assets at ₹16,487.76 crore and total debt at ₹5,670.28 crore (both converted from INR millions).

Earnings call schedule and other corporate calendar items

DFPCL has scheduled an earnings conference call for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27) on Friday, July 31, 2026 at 16:00 IST.

In earlier corporate calendar disclosures, the company also stated it would announce Q3 FY26 unaudited standalone and consolidated results on January 29, 2026, and that the trading window would remain closed from January 1, 2026 until 48 hours after the results announcement.

The company’s recent AGM history included that its 45th AGM, held on September 9, 2025 via video conference, passed all resolutions including adoption of FY25 financial statements, declaration of a dividend, and re-appointment of a director.

What investors may track next

For shareholders, the immediate practical checkpoints are the compliance deadline of August 17, 2026 (for documentation affecting dividend TDS), followed by the record date on August 25, 2026 and the book closure from August 26 to September 1, 2026.

From a market perspective, the clarity around the dividend process, VC/OAVM participation, and e-voting access reduces uncertainty on timelines. Investors will also track the July 31 earnings call for management commentary following the cited record Q1FY27 profit.

Conclusion

Deepak Fertilisers has set September 1, 2026 as the date for its 46th AGM and proposed a ₹10 per share dividend for FY26, with eligibility linked to the August 25 record date and book closure from August 26 to September 1. The next confirmed milestones are the August 17 documentation deadline for dividend-related tax processing and the July 31, 2026 earnings call scheduled for 16:00 IST.
