SRF interim dividend FY2026-27: Rs 5 payout, key dates

What SRF’s board announced

SRF Limited said its Board of Directors has declared the first interim dividend for the financial year 2026-27. The interim dividend is set at 50% of the paid-up equity share capital, which works out to Rs 5 per equity share. The decision was taken at the board meeting held on July 22, 2026.

For shareholders, the announcement matters because interim dividends are paid during the year, rather than after the annual results, and eligibility depends on the record date. The company also outlined the timeline for determining shareholders who will receive the dividend and when the payout will be credited.

Record date and payment timeline

SRF has fixed Tuesday, July 28, 2026 as the record date to determine eligible shareholders. The dividend will be paid to members whose names appear on the Register of Members and to beneficial owners as per the data received from NSDL and CDSL.

The company stated that the payment of this interim dividend will be made on or before Tuesday, August 18, 2026. This sets a clear window for investors tracking expected cash flows from the stock.

Board meeting agenda: results, dividend and NCD proposal

Ahead of the July 22, 2026 meeting, SRF had indicated that the board would consider multiple items. These included approval of the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1 FY27). The board was also expected to consider an interim dividend.

In addition, SRF mentioned a proposal to issue Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) worth up to Rs 750 crore. The company also disclosed a trading window closure from July 1, 2026 to July 24, 2026.
