Krishna Defence & Allied Industries declares ₹0.75 interim dividend

Krishna Defence & Allied Industries Ltd approved its September 2026 quarterly results and declared an interim dividend of ₹0.75 per share on 29 October 2026. The decision follows a final dividend of ₹1.25 per share for FY26, when the company reported revenue of ₹244.78 crore and net profit of ₹41.32 crore.

What did Krishna Defence announce on 29 October 2026?

Krishna Defence announced the approval of financial results for the period ended 30 September 2026 and an interim dividend of ₹0.75 per share, equivalent to 7.50%. The outcome was submitted to the exchange after the board meeting held on 29 October 2026. The board had earlier scheduled the meeting to consider the quarterly and half-yearly financial results as well as a possible interim dividend.

The company’s announcements state that the record date for the interim dividend is 5 November 2026. Shareholders whose names appear in the company’s records on that date will be eligible under the stated record-date framework. The provided information does not specify the payment date for this interim dividend.

A separate results summary for Q2 FY27 listed revenue of ₹75, gross profit of ₹18 and net profit of ₹15. However, the supplied Q2 summary does not state the unit for these figures. They should therefore be read as reported values rather than compared directly with the company’s crore-denominated quarterly and annual financial disclosures.

What are Krishna Defence’s recent dividend details?

Krishna Defence’s latest declared payout is the ₹0.75 per-share interim dividend approved on 29 October 2026, with a record date of 5 November 2026. This follows the final dividend of ₹1.25 per equity share for the financial year ended March 2026.

The FY26 final dividend was recommended by the board on 20 May 2026 and had an ex-date and record date of 8 July 2026. The company’s dividend history in the supplied data also shows a ₹0.50 final dividend with an ex-date of 12 September 2025 and a ₹0.50 interim dividend with an ex-date of 22 November 2024.

How did Krishna Defence perform before Q2 FY27?

Krishna Defence reported consolidated revenue of ₹57.60 crore in the quarter ended June 2026, down 11.18% quarter-on-quarter from ₹64.85 crore and down 15.18% year-on-year from ₹67.91 crore. Net profit for the June quarter was ₹11.44 crore, down 10.69% sequentially from ₹12.81 crore but up 20.68% from ₹9.48 crore a year earlier.

Operating profit stood at ₹15.16 crore in the June 2026 quarter, compared with ₹16.05 crore in the preceding quarter. Profit before tax was ₹14.67 crore, versus ₹17.07 crore in the March 2026 quarter. While revenue declined from both comparison periods, the company reported year-on-year growth in operating profit, profit before tax and net profit.

For the year ended March 2026, Krishna Defence reported revenue of ₹244.78 crore, up 29.10% from ₹189.61 crore in FY25. Full-year net profit rose 85.62% to ₹41.32 crore from ₹22.26 crore. In the March 2026 quarter, sales increased 42.18% year-on-year to ₹64.85 crore and net profit rose 72.87% to ₹12.81 crore.

Why do the results and dividend matter for investors?

The interim dividend adds to the company’s shareholder payout after the ₹1.25 per-share final dividend linked to FY26. For investors, the sequence provides a record of board-approved distributions, although the supplied information does not give the total number of shares eligible, the aggregate payout amount or the payment date for the new interim dividend.

The financial trend presents a mixed operating picture across the periods disclosed. FY26 revenue and profit increased strongly, while the June 2026 quarter showed lower sales than both the March 2026 and June 2025 quarters. At the same time, June-quarter net profit remained higher than the year-earlier level, indicating that profit growth and revenue movement did not move in the same direction during that quarter.

No share-price movement, analyst view or market reaction is included in the available information. The stated dividend yield is 0.11%, but the supplied data does not provide the reference share price or valuation date used for that calculation.

What should shareholders track after the Q2 FY27 announcement?

Shareholders should track the 5 November 2026 record date for the interim dividend and any subsequent company communication on the payment schedule. The board’s decision has already established the dividend amount at ₹0.75 per share, while the record date determines eligibility under the announcement.

Investors may also compare the detailed September-quarter financial statements with the June-quarter and FY26 figures once the full results presentation is available. The supplied summary gives headline Q2 values, but does not specify the unit for revenue, gross profit and net profit or provide corresponding year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter comparisons.

Conclusion

Krishna Defence combined its September 2026 results approval with a ₹0.75 per-share interim dividend, extending the shareholder distribution record after the ₹1.25 FY26 final dividend. The announcement comes after FY26 revenue of ₹244.78 crore and net profit of ₹41.32 crore, while the June 2026 quarter showed lower revenue but higher year-on-year net profit.

The next disclosed event for shareholders is the interim dividend record date of 5 November 2026. Investors will also need fuller Q2 FY27 financial disclosures to assess the reported revenue, gross profit and net profit figures alongside comparable prior-period data.
