Gujarat Energy AGM 2026: ₹8.90 dividend dates

What the company has announced

Gujarat Energy Limited has scheduled its 14th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The meeting will be conducted through video conferencing or other audio-visual means (VC/OAVM), as disclosed in filings made to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The company’s registered office in Gandhinagar will act as the deemed venue for the AGM.

Alongside the AGM notice, the company also shared information relating to shareholder voting and dividend timelines. The announcement ties together the FY 2025-26 annual report, AGM resolutions, and the final dividend recommended by the board for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

Final dividend for FY26: amount and basis

Gujarat Energy has declared a final dividend of ₹8.90 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The dividend is on equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each. The company has described this as a 445% payout on the face value.

The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The corporate action data also reflects the same final dividend amount of ₹8.90 per share with an ex-date of September 11, 2026 and record date of September 11, 2026 for equity shares.

Record date and who is eligible

For dividend entitlement, the company has fixed Friday, September 11, 2026 as the record date. Eligibility is based on shareholders whose names appear in the register of members as of that record date. This record-date framework is a key checkpoint for investors who want the dividend, because entitlement depends on being on the company’s books on the specified date.

The AGM-related communication also notes that shareholders should complete voting by September 28, 2026 to participate in AGM resolutions and dividend-related decisions.

Dividend payment timeline

The company has indicated that dividend payments, if declared at the AGM, will be made on or before Wednesday, October 28, 2026. This gives investors a defined outer limit for receiving the payout after shareholder approval.

Separately, corporate action information mentions that the payment was or is scheduled around September 11, 2026. However, the AGM notice language specifically points to payment on or before October 28, 2026, conditional on approval at the AGM.

Remote e-voting: dates, cut-off, and provider

Remote e-voting will open at 9:00 a.m. (IST) on Friday, September 25, 2026. It will close at 5:00 p.m. (IST) on Monday, September 28, 2026. The cut-off date for determining voting entitlement has been stated as Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) is facilitating the e-voting process. The filing also notes book closure from September 22 to September 29, 2026, aligning with the AGM period.

AGM agenda items referenced in the filing

The AGM notice and annual report package for 2025-26 is expected to cover approval of FY25-26 results and routine corporate matters. The filing also references resolutions related to director reappointments and auditor remuneration. These are standard AGM items, but they remain relevant because voting timelines and the cut-off date determine who can participate.

The company’s notice dispatch date has been stated as September 5, 2026, supporting the timeline for shareholders to review proposals before voting begins.

Key dates at a glance

Dividend track record shown in corporate action history

The corporate action table provided alongside the AGM-related disclosures shows prior final dividends, indicating year-to-year variation in per-share payouts. While this does not by itself signal a trend, it helps investors place the FY26 final dividend in context.

Market impact: what changes for investors now

From an investor-action standpoint, the announcement creates a clear calendar: the record date (September 11, 2026) determines dividend eligibility, and the e-voting window (September 25-28, 2026) determines participation in AGM resolutions. The stated dividend yield is 1.27% in the shared material, and it also includes an illustration that a ₹1,000 investment is expected to generate ₹12.68 every year in dividends.

These numbers frame the payout as a defined cash return per share (₹8.90 for FY26) and a yield metric (1.27%) based on prevailing price assumptions at the time the data was published. The company has also stated there are no upcoming dividends available beyond what is already scheduled and disclosed.

Why this AGM notice matters

The AGM is the formal checkpoint for shareholder approval of the final dividend and other resolutions, including items such as director reappointments and auditor remuneration. For shareholders, the key is not just the dividend amount, but also the operational process: record date, book closure, voting cut-off, and the remote e-voting window.

The disclosures also confirm that the AGM will be held through VC/OAVM, which continues a format that prioritises remote participation. Gujarat Energy has also been referred to as formerly known as Gujarat Gas Limited in the filing-based coverage accompanying the announcement.

Conclusion

Gujarat Energy’s 14th AGM is set for September 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via VC/OAVM, with a proposed final dividend of ₹8.90 per share for FY ended March 31, 2026. The record date for dividend entitlement is September 11, 2026, and remote e-voting will run from September 25 to September 28, 2026. The company has indicated dividend payment, if approved, will be made on or before October 28, 2026.
