Cochin Shipyard Sets September 18 Record Date For ₹1.50 Final Dividend; Shares Rise 1.97%

Mumbai September, 04: Cochin Shipyard Limited has fixed September 18, 2026 as the record date for determining shareholders eligible to receive its proposed final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share for FY 2025-26.

The proposed payout represents 30% of the company’s ₹5 face value per share. The dividend is not yet final, as shareholders will vote on the proposal at Cochin Shipyard’s 54th Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 29, 2026.

If approved at the AGM, the company said the dividend will be paid to eligible members by October 28, 2026, after taking applicable tax deducted at source into account.

The latest filing essentially gives shareholders a clear timeline: September 18 is the record date, September 29 is the scheduled approval date and October 28 is the proposed outer date for payment.

Stock Market Snapshot

The Cochin Shipyard share price was trading at ₹1,516 as of 12:12 PM IST on September 4, 2026, up ₹29.30, or 1.97%, from the previous close, according to the market data shown.

The stock opened at around ₹1,494 and moved higher through the morning session. It touched around ₹1,518 before holding near ₹1,516 at the latest update.

The stock’s move came as the company provided clarity on the record date for its proposed final dividend. The announcement does not, however, make the dividend unconditional, with shareholder approval still required at the upcoming AGM.

Dividend Approval Remains The Next Trigger

Cochin Shipyard’s filing makes it clear that the proposed ₹1.50 payout is subject to approval by members at the 54th AGM.

Once approved, shareholders whose names are recorded as eligible on the September 18 record date will qualify for the final dividend, subject to the applicable terms and tax requirements.

The company has also specified October 28, 2026 as the date by which the approved dividend is expected to be distributed. This gives investors greater visibility on the proposed payout process ahead of the AGM.

Proposed ₹1.50 Dividend Sets Clear Timeline For Shareholders

The latest disclosure is primarily about the record date rather than a fresh dividend declaration. The ₹1.50 final dividend for FY 2025-26 has already been proposed, while the latest filing establishes September 18 as the date for determining eligible members.

Shareholders will next look to the September 29 AGM, where the dividend proposal is scheduled to be placed for approval.

If cleared, the company intends to complete the payout by October 28, 2026, subject to applicable TDS.

Conclusion

Cochin Shipyard has fixed September 18, 2026 as the record date for its proposed ₹1.50 final dividend for FY 2025-26.

The payout, equivalent to 30% of the ₹5 face value, remains subject to shareholder approval at the September 29 AGM. If approved, eligible shareholders are expected to receive the dividend by October 28, 2026.
