Vedanta announces second interim dividend of ₹16 per share; check record date
Metal major Vedanta 's board on Thursday approved a second interim dividend of ₹16 per share for the financial year FY26. The total payout will be ₹6,256 crore. The Anil Agarwal company has set the record date on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Vedanta's first interim dividend was ₹7 per share which was announced on June 18. The payout was ₹2,737 crores. Vedanta tops the chart as the highest dividend paying stock. Its dividend yield is 8 per cent and the company has paid ₹35.5 as dividend over the past 12 months. The announcement was made after market hours and Vedanta shares today ended at ₹447.10 on the NSE, up ₹1.60 or 0.36 per cent over the Wednesday closing price. The company is in news after the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) deferred the hearing on its demerger plan to September 17. The move followed 'serious objections' raised by the Centre over alleged concealment and non-disclosure of key details in the rejig exercise. According to a CNBC-TV18 report, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas flagged concerns that the proposed demerger could compromise the government's ability to recover dues. The ministry alleged instances of revenue inflation and under-reporting of liabilities on Vedanta's books. The report also noted that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had earlier issued a warning letter to Vedanta after it altered the demerger scheme despite having secured prior approvals from stock exchanges and the regulator — a move that was termed a serious breach. In another setback, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea by the Vedanta Group seeking additional compensation for its Punjab-based Talwandi Sabo Power project. The company had approached the apex court challenging the withdrawal of 'deemed export' benefits and sought higher compensation. The apex upheld the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity's (APTEL) order, ruling that Talwandi Sabo was never legitimately entitled to such benefits, a Mint report said, adding that this effectively closes the door on any additional financial relief from the project. The mining major had posted an 11.7 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline in its consolidated net profit in Q1 to ₹3,185 crore. However, the company's revenue from operations rose by 5.75 per cent YoY to ₹37,824 crore, up from ₹35,764 crore reported a year ago. The net profit is comparable to ₹3,606 crore posted in the same quarter of the previous financial year. The net profit is attributable to the owners of the company.

Mumbai-based Godrej Properties has emerged as the highest bidder for a 7.83-acre land parcel in Hyderabad's Kukatpally with a bid of Rs 547.75 crore. The site is expected to generate revenue potential of around Rs 3,800 crore through the development of premium residential apartments. The company participated in an e-auction conducted by the Telangana Housing Board (TGHB) for residential group housing, where it secured the top bid, according to a bid status intimation email issued by MSTC, the auction facilitator. TGHB will issue the allotment letter after completing due process, Godrej said. Strategically located near HITEC City, Hyderabad's key commercial hub, the land parcel is earmarked for premium residential apartments of varied configurations. Godrej already has an established presence in the city, with projects in Kokapet and Rajendranagar. Commenting on the development, Gaurav Pandey, managing director and chief executive officer of Godrej Properties, said: 'As Hyderabad continues to strengthen its position as a dynamic real estate market, Kukatpally represents a strategic location that aligns with the city's growth trajectory. Building on the strong response to our recent launch, Godrej Madison Avenue at Kokapet, our presence here allows us to bring national-scale expertise while designing future-ready developments that create long-term value for our residents.' The land acquisition comes on the back of the company's strong quarterly performance. In Q1 FY26, Godrej Properties' profit attributable to equity holders rose 15.4 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to Rs 600.12 crore, supported by a 22 per cent growth in collections to Rs 3,670 crore. However, booking value during the quarter declined 18 per cent Y-o-Y to Rs 7,082 crore. The company sold 4,231 homes spanning 6.17 million square feet. Despite the dip, this marked the eighth consecutive quarter in which Godrej crossed Rs 5,000 crore in booking value.
