Bharti Airtel Sets July 18 As Record Date For Final Dividend Eligibility

Bharti Airtel has announced that July 18, 2025, will be the record date to determine the members eligible for the payment of the final dividend for the financial year 2025, in an exchange filing.

This decision follows the company's earlier communication on May 13, 2025, where the Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of Rs 16 per fully paid-up equity share and Rs 4 per partly paid-up equity share.

The record date is crucial as it identifies shareholders who will receive the dividend. Bharti Airtel's fully paid-up equity shares have a face value of Rs 5 each, while the partly paid-up equity shares also have a face value of Rs 5 each, with Rs 1.25 paid up per share.

The dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of approval, subject to tax deductions, to those members whose names appear in the register of members or depository records as of the close of business on July 18, 2025.

The scrip rose as much as 1.61% to Rs 1,870 apiece. It pared gains to trade 1.42% higher at Rs 1,866.60 apiece, as of 11:23 a.m. This compares to a 0.68% advance in the NSE Nifty 50.

It has risen 30.68% in the last 12 months. Total traded volume so far in the day stood at 0.24 times its 30-day average. The relative strength index was at 55.

Out of 33 analysts tracking the company, 27 maintain a 'buy' rating, four recommend a 'hold' and two suggest 'sell', according to Bloomberg data. The average 12-month consensus price target implies an upside of 7.4%.
