MRF AGM 2026: record date, ₹229 dividend, e-voting details

What MRF has announced

MRF Limited has scheduled its 65th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Thursday, August 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) or Other Audio Visual Means (OAVM), in line with circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Alongside the AGM schedule, the company has communicated key dates linked to a proposed final dividend for FY2025-26.

The AGM notice and the annual report are being made available through multiple channels, including the company’s website and the stock exchange portals. MRF has also stated that the documents are being sent electronically to members with registered email addresses. Physical copies, as per the notice, may be dispatched upon request.

AGM date, time, and mode

MRF’s filings state that the 65th AGM will take place on August 6, 2026, via VC/OAVM. The company has positioned the VC/OAVM format as a compliance measure aligned with applicable regulations and regulatory circulars. The time of the meeting is specified as 11:00 a.m.

The exchange filing also lists the item category as “Corporate Action – AGM Notice” and indicates that the filing is accessible through the exchange portal. The company’s letter to the stock exchanges is dated June 29, 2026, and reiterates the AGM date and the record date for the dividend purpose.

Key agenda items shareholders will vote on

The stated agenda for the 65th AGM includes adoption of the financial statements and declaration of dividend. The notice also includes auditor-related matters and “special business.” As part of ordinary business, the notice specifies the adoption of audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, along with the Board’s and Auditors’ reports.

The notice further includes an item for declaration of a final dividend on equity shares. Another ordinary business item includes director-related business, including appointment of a director retiring by rotation (the notice mentions Mr. Varun Mammen by name).

Dividend announcement: ₹229 per share for FY26

MRF has recommended a final dividend of ₹229 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. The notice describes this as 2290% of the face value of ₹10 per share (the article text also includes a reference describing it as 22900% of face value in one instance). The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the 65th AGM.

Separately, the company communication included in the provided material states that the total dividend for the year is ₹235 per share. The same set of details indicates that the final dividend, if approved, will be payable on or after August 17, 2026.

Record date and eligibility: who receives the dividend

MRF has fixed July 17, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the final dividend. The record date is the cut-off used to identify shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members as of that date. If the dividend is approved at the AGM, those eligible shareholders would receive the payout.

The company has highlighted the practical implication clearly: only shareholders on record as of July 17, 2026 would qualify for the final dividend, subject to the AGM’s approval. The exchange communication also lists security type as equity shares, with NSE symbol MRF and BSE scrip code 500290.

Remote e-voting window and cut-off date

For shareholders who wish to vote on AGM resolutions, MRF has provided a remote e-voting facility. The remote e-voting period begins on August 1, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. and ends on August 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The notice states that e-voting services are provided through NSDL.

The eligibility to vote is linked to a separate cut-off date: members holding shares as on July 30, 2026 are eligible to vote. This cut-off is relevant for voting rights at the AGM, while the July 17 record date is relevant for dividend eligibility.

How to access MRF’s Annual Report 2025-26 and AGM notice

MRF has stated that the annual report is available on its official website. Shareholders can access it through the dedicated financial results section or via the Investor Relations path shared in the communication.

Access path shared by the company:

• Weblink: https://www.mrftyres.com/financial-results

In addition to the company website, the AGM notice and annual report are also accessible on the websites of BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, as per the disclosure.

Dividend payment mode and shareholder action points

MRF has mandated that dividend payments will be processed exclusively in electronic mode, discontinuing warrants or cheques. The company has advised shareholders to update bank details and submit TDS-related documents by July 17, 2026.

This approach aligns with the company’s stated timeline for processing dividend payments after shareholder approval at the AGM. Based on the disclosure, payment of the final dividend would be made on or after August 17, 2026.
