SJVN Limited will hold its 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, August 31, 2026, via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM). The Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise has recommended a final dividend of ₹0.35 per share for FY25-26, subject to shareholder approval at the meeting. This recommendation was made by the Board during its 331st meeting held on May 15, 2026. Shareholders holding shares as of the record date will be eligible to receive the dividend if declared.

The primary business of the AGM includes the approval of the Board’s Report and Annual Financial Statement for FY25-26. The company issued a public notice on August 7, 2026, published in Times of India and Amar Ujala, confirming the virtual format in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) Circular No. 20/2020 dated May 5, 2020. The Annual Report and Notice have been dispatched electronically to members with registered email addresses. For those without registered emails, documents are accessible on the company’s website and exchange portals.

Voting and Record Date Details

To ensure dividend entitlement and voting rights, shareholders must hold shares as of the record date. The following timeline applies for remote e-voting and dividend eligibility:

Remote e-voting facilities are provided under Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 20 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, and Regulation 44(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

What the Numbers Show

The recommended dividend of ₹0.35 per share signals continued cash return to investors despite the broader energy sector's capital-intensive nature. As a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Himachal Pradesh, SJVN’s ability to maintain dividend payouts reflects stable operational cash flows. The strict adherence to the record date of August 24, 2026, means any last-minute trading activity must be completed before this cutoff to secure entitlements. The results of the resolutions will be declared within two days of the AGM conclusion, alongside the Scrutinizer's Report.

SJVN Limited has fixed Monday, August 24, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for its final dividend of ₹0.35 per equity share for the financial year 2025-26. This payout, subject to approval at the company’s 38th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 31, 2026, completes a total dividend distribution of ₹1.50 per share for FY26, following an interim dividend of ₹1.15 per share declared in February 2026. The final dividend adds to the company’s strong standalone Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹1,007.90 crore reported for FY26, marking a 3.89% year-on-year increase.

The Board of Directors recommended the final dividend during its meeting on May 15, 2026. Shareholders holding shares on the register of members at the closure of business hours on August 24, 2026, will be entitled to receive the payment. The company has closed its share transfer books from August 25, 2026, to August 31, 2026, inclusive. Pursuant to Section 126 of the Companies Act, 2013, the dividend will be paid within 30 days of declaration at the AGM. Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) will be applied based on the Income Tax Act, 2025, with rates varying by shareholder status and PAN validity.

Financial Context

The dividend payout aligns with SJVN’s robust financial performance in FY26. Standalone revenue from operations rose to ₹3,544.52 crore from ₹2,897.25 crore in FY25, driven by higher energy sales and recognition of tariff arrears. Consolidated revenue surged to ₹4,722.81 crore. However, consolidated PAT declined to ₹641.85 crore from ₹818.02 crore due to losses in subsidiaries and joint ventures. The company’s net worth increased to ₹14,708.20 crore, supporting a Return on Net Worth of 6.95%.
