Vedanta Dividend: No Fresh Payout Announced — Check FY26 Dividend Yield And More

Vedanta Ltd. declared no fresh dividend while reporting results for the quarter ended March 2026 on Monday, leaving its total payout for FY26 at Rs 34 per share. That means the third interim dividend announced in March remains the company's final reward for the year.

The decision comes alongside a quarterly earnings announcement, with both revenue and profit meeting estimates.  "During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company, at its meeting held on March 23, 2026, approved the third interim dividend of Rs 11/- per equity share on face value on 1/- per equity share for FY 2025-26. With this, the total dividend declared for FY 2025-26 stands at Rs 34/- per equity share of Re 1/-," the company said in its regulatory filing.

Bloomberg estimates suggested Vedanta could declare a total dividend of Rs 36.01 per share for the financial year ending March 2026. With Rs 34 per share already announced so far this year, it was left to open the possibility of no fresh dividend if the company chooses to stop at the interim payouts already declared.
