HAL hit a day low of Rs 4,269.90 on 29 June, down 2%, after its board recommended a Rs 10 final dividend for FY26.

The dividend announcement is straightforward. HAL’s board met on 29 June and approved a final payout of Rs 10 per equity share for FY26.

This works out to 200% of the face value of Rs 5 per share. Shareholders on record as of 14 August 2026 will be eligible to receive it, pending approval at the upcoming AGM.

Payment follows within 30 days of that approval. For income investors, there is useful context here. HAL had already paid an interim dividend of Rs 35 per share in February 2026.

Adding today’s recommended Rs 10 brings total declared dividends for FY26 to Rs 45 per share. That is an improvement on the Rs 40 per share paid out in FY25. The board also approved a routine housekeeping item at the same meeting.

M/s Murthy & Co. LLP has been appointed as Cost Auditor for FY27, handling cost audits and compliance work of the kind standard for large public sector enterprises. On the business side, HAL reported 7% revenue growth in FY26.

Market estimates peg the company’s near-term execution pipeline at around Rs 90,000 crore over the next two years, covering programmes like LCA Tejas, ALH helicopters and Sukhoi upgrades, though this figure is based on brokerage estimates rather than an official exchange filing.

HAL closed at Rs 4,342.80 on NSE on 29 June, down 0.59% from the previous close of Rs 4,368.70.
