New Delhi, June 27, 2025: Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries Ltd. (NSE: DALMIASUG, BSE: 500097) has announced a final dividend of ₹1.50 per equity share for the financial year 2024-25. Today, June 27, 2025, marks the last trading session for investors to purchase the company’s shares and become eligible to receive this dividend, as the stock is set to trade ex-dividend shortly.
The ex-dividend date is the day on or after which a stock trades without its dividend rights. To be eligible for the dividend, shares must typically be purchased before the ex-dividend date. Given India’s T+1 (Trade Day + 1) settlement cycle, the record date for Dalmia Bharat Sugar’s dividend has been fixed as June 30, 2025. This means investors must hold the shares in their demat account by the end of June 28, 2025 (since June 29 is a Sunday), which implies buying them no later than June 27, 2025.

| Interim Dividend (FY24) | — | ₹3.75 per share |
