Uniparts India ₹22.50 dividend, Q1 FY26 profit +11.6%

What the company announced

Uniparts India Ltd announced a special interim dividend of ₹22.50 per equity share, citing a strong cash position and disciplined capital allocation. The company’s Board of Directors approved the decision at its meeting held on October 13. The dividend is described as a 225% payout on the face value of ₹10 per share. The announcement was made through an exchange filing.

The company also linked the dividend decision with its financial performance, sharing results for the first quarter of FY26 (quarter ended June 2025). The filing and accompanying data highlighted year-on-year improvements in net sales, net profit, EBITDA, and earnings per share.

Record date, ex-date and payout timeline

Uniparts India fixed October 23, 2025 as the record date to determine eligible shareholders for the special interim dividend. The same date is also listed as the ex-date in the dividend table provided. The company stated the payout will be completed within 30 days from the date of declaration, subject to regulatory norms.

Separately, the provided dataset also references an interim dividend timeline across multiple dates, and includes later dividend-related items for February 2026. These entries indicate that Uniparts India has used interim dividends as a regular method of distributing cash to shareholders.

Why the dividend decision stands out

The company’s rationale for the special interim dividend was explicitly tied to cash reserves. The provided transcript-style notes mention cash flows from operations of ₹182 crore in FY25 and a cash balance of ₹241 crore as of June 2025. The same notes also point to a change in dividend payout policy over time, with the dividend payout ratio rising from 24% in FY22 to 73% in FY25.

Working capital metrics were also referenced in the notes, with working capital days improving to 124 days in FY25 from around 134 days in the prior year. The data positions the dividend decision as a capital allocation choice supported by liquidity and internal cash generation.
