The Hi-Tech Gears Ltd has fixed Tuesday, September 15, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder entitlement to a proposed dividend of ₹4 per equity share. The payout, which equates to 40% of the ₹10 face value per share, applies to the financial year 2025-26. Shareholders holding the stock on this date will be eligible to receive the dividend if it is formally declared by members at the company’s 40th Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The announcement was made in a letter dated August 12, 2026, addressed to the listing departments of the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited. The communication clarifies that the Board of Directors has recommended the dividend, but its disbursement remains contingent upon shareholder approval during the ensuing AGM. This procedural step ensures that the final allocation of profits aligns with the collective decision of the company’s equity holders.

In addition to setting the financial record date, The Hi-Tech Gears Ltd has designated Tuesday, September 15, 2026, as the cut-off date for voting eligibility. Only shareholders registered in the company’s records on this specific date will be entitled to cast their votes during the 40th AGM. This synchronization simplifies the administrative process for both the company and its investors, linking dividend entitlement with voting rights under a single timeline.

The disclosure was filed pursuant to Regulation 42 of the Securities & Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulatory framework mandates timely public disclosure of material events, including dividend recommendations and key dates related to general meetings. The filing ensures transparency and allows investors to plan their portfolios accordingly ahead of the AGM.
