Info Edge Announces ₹3.60 Final Dividend; Stock Climbs Over 5% 

Mumbai, May 22: Info Edge (India) Ltd has recommended a final dividend of ₹3.60 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, continuing the company’s steady shareholder payout trend. 

The proposal was approved at the company’s board meeting held on Friday and will now be placed before shareholders at the 31st Annual General Meeting scheduled for August 25, 2026. 

According to the company’s exchange filing, the dividend has been recommended on equity shares with a face value of ₹2 each. Shareholders eligible for the payout will be determined based on the record date fixed as July 24, 2026. 

If approved at the AGM, the dividend will be credited or dispatched on or after September 2, 2026, after applicable tax deductions. 

The latest payout comes on top of two interim dividends already declared during FY26. The company had announced an interim dividend of ₹2.40 per share in November 2025 and another ₹2.40 per share in February 2026, taking the total dividend payout for the year significantly higher. 

The announcement formed part of a broader set of board approvals linked to the company’s FY26 financial results.
