RCF share price: AGM, dividend and FPO plans 2026

RCF in focus ahead of key shareholder date

Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd (RCF) was in focus as the company headed into its Annual General Meeting (AGM) window and a final dividend decision for FY26. On September 24, 2026, RCF’s share price on NSE was reported at ₹108.40 at the market close, down ₹1.23 or 1.12%. The stock’s near-term tone also reflected in the “Hold” stance shown in the available tracker data. Investors are also watching corporate action timelines around the AGM and dividend record date.

Alongside the event calendar, the company’s fundraising items flagged for the AGM have drawn attention. The agenda items highlighted include a proposed ₹1,500 crore FPO and a ₹1,100 crore NCD issuance. These are material items for shareholders because they relate to potential capital raising and balance sheet actions.

Latest price snapshot and intraday range

RCF closed at ₹108.40 on September 24, 2026 (4:01 pm IST), as per the provided market snapshot. The same data set listed the previous closing price at ₹109.63. During the session, the stock touched a day high of ₹109.15 and a day low of ₹108.00. Another live market snapshot in the feed also showed an intraday band of ₹107.60 to ₹110.28, with an open price of ₹109.90 and a previous close of ₹108.50.

These multiple data points show RCF trading in a relatively tight range around the ₹108 to ₹110 band in late September. The 52-week range provided was ₹106.00 on the low end and ₹157.90 on the high end. For investors, this helps position the current price closer to the lower end of the one-year band.

“Hold” zone signal and what it indicates

The tracker data cited a “Hold” rating for RCF across near term, long term, and “experts maintain a Hold rating.” It also stated the stock entered a “Hold zone” on August 14, 2026 at ₹124.05. Since that point, the price movement was reported as -₹15.65, down 12.62%.

This is not a recommendation by itself, but it is a useful summary of how the stock has behaved since mid-August based on the stated reference price. It also frames the current price of about ₹108 as below that “Hold zone” entry level cited in the data.

AGM schedule, book closure and meeting format

RCF’s corporate calendar in the feed highlighted an AGM dated September 25, 2026, and an ex-date shown as September 25, 2026. The company also stated that the Forty-Eight Annual General Meeting is scheduled to be held through video conferencing (VC) or other audio-visual means (OAVM) on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.

In addition, the register of members and share transfer books were stated to remain closed from Saturday, September 19, 2026 to Friday, September 25, 2026 for taking record of members for the purpose of the AGM. This matters operationally for shareholders who track eligibility and procedural timelines around corporate actions.

Dividend: amount, record date and payout timeline

The last dividend declared in the provided data was ₹1.34 per share, declared on May 21, 2026. The board also recommended a final dividend of ₹1.34 per equity share of face value ₹10 each (13.4%) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, subject to shareholders’ approval at the ensuing AGM.

RCF fixed Friday, September 18, 2026 as the record date for determining entitlement of members to the final dividend for FY ended March 31, 2026. The company noted that the final dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of its declaration at the AGM. The feed also listed the current dividend yield at 2.13%.

A dividend history table in the provided text also listed these entries: ₹1.34 (final) with ex-date and record date of September 18, 2026; ₹1.00 interim with ex-date and record date of February 20, 2026; ₹1.32 final (October 10, 2025); ₹1.24 final (September 23, 2024); and ₹3.7 final (December 13, 2023).

Fundraising items flagged for the AGM agenda

An AGM-focused item in the feed stated: “Rashtriya Chemicals AGM: ₹1,500 Cr FPO & Dividend” and added that key agenda items include a ₹1,500 crore FPO and ₹1,100 crore NCD issuance, along with the final dividend of ₹1.34 per share. These items are likely to be tracked closely because they combine a shareholder payout decision with proposed capital market activity.

The same context also indicates the AGM is a central point for approvals and disclosures that could shape near-term investor focus. However, the provided information does not include final outcomes for these agenda items, only that they were included.

Shareholding snapshot and what it tells investors

The shareholding table provided in the text showed promoters holding 75.00%. Foreign institutions were listed at 2.43%. Retail and others accounted for 22.27%. Other domestic institutions were 0.23%, and mutual funds were 0.07%.

This pattern signals a high promoter holding, while institutional ownership in the provided snapshot is relatively low. For market participants, such a structure can influence liquidity and how price responds to event-driven news, though the feed does not provide volume figures.

Market cap, returns and comparative benchmarks

RCF’s market capitalisation was listed at ₹6,048.16 crore as of September 24, 2026. The feed also provided performance comparisons: year-to-date return for RCF.NS at 24.15% versus S&P BSE SENSEX at 12.16%. For the 1-year period, RCF.NS was listed at 27.33% versus SENSEX at 9.40%.

These figures place RCF ahead of the stated benchmark returns over both timeframes in the provided data. At the same time, the recent drop from the “Hold zone” reference level shows the stock has also experienced a pullback since mid-August.

Corporate actions and board meeting trail

The corporate actions table in the feed listed multiple meeting entries. These included September 24, 2026 (announced September 2, 2026) for AGM, and August 12, 2026 (announced August 5, 2026) for a board meeting on quarterly results. It also included July 6, 2026 for “Others,” May 20, 2026 for audited results and final dividend, and February 11, 2026 for quarterly results and interim dividend.

Separately, the feed stated that RCF appointed Rajnikant Bhulabhai Tandel as an independent director on its board. The appointment was approved via circular resolution on August 31, 2026 and is for a three-year term.
