The company clarified that the correct Record Date for the purpose of the final dividend is Friday, 7th August, 2026 — not Tuesday, 18th August, 2026, as was inadvertently mentioned in the AGM Notice forming part of the Annual Report for FY 2025-26. The company noted that the correct record date of August 7, 2026 was already reflecting on the Exchange Portals, having been timely disseminated after the Board Meeting. The corrigendum was signed by Company Secretary Birendra Kumar Jain and a corrected version of the Annual Report has been made available on the company's website.
