Who Is Eligible for the Dividend
Anyone whose name is registered as the beneficial owner of shares in the company’s register of members, or in the records of the depositories, by the record date of 7 August 2026, will be entitled to receive the dividend. In practice, this means investors need to hold Maruti Suzuki shares in their demat account before this date to qualify; buying the stock on or after the record date will not make you eligible for this payout.
Dividend History: Rs 140 vs Rs 135
This year’s payout marks a step up from FY25, when the company paid a final dividend of Rs 135 per share. The Rs 140 announcement continues Maruti Suzuki’s pattern of raising its per-share payout year after year, reflecting the company’s consistently strong balance sheet and cash generation despite near-term profit pressure.
Maruti Suzuki Share Price and Market Cap
Maruti Suzuki shares closed at Rs 14,239.40 on the BSE on Friday, 31 July. At that price, the company’s market capitalisation stands at Rs 4.47 lakh crore. As of the end of June 2026, the promoter shareholding in the company remains significant, underscoring continued parent backing from Suzuki Motor Corporation.
Q1 FY27 Results: Profit Down, Revenue Up Sharply
The dividend announcement comes alongside a mixed set of April-June 2026 quarter numbers. Net consolidated profit fell 9.11% year-on-year to Rs 3,446.9 crore, down from Rs 3,792.4 crore in the same quarter last year, as rising raw material costs and overall higher expenses weighed on profitability.
Revenue told a different story. Consolidated revenue from operations grew nearly 36% to Rs 52,469.8 crore, up sharply from Rs 38,605.2 crore in the June 2025 quarter. Total expenses rose to Rs 50,000.3 crore, compared with Rs 35,585.4 crore a year earlier, which is what ultimately squeezed the bottom line even as the top line surged.
Record Monthly Production in July
Operationally, Maruti Suzuki is firing on all cylinders. The company recorded its highest-ever monthly production in July 2026, manufacturing 2,48,845 vehicles, a 33% year-on-year increase from 1,87,073 units a year earlier. This beats the company’s previous best monthly production record, set in March 2026 at 2,31,933 vehicles. Back-to-back production records suggest robust demand and capacity utilisation heading into the festive season, even as the quarter’s profit came under margin pressure.
