CESC Limited Declares ₹6 Interim Dividend, Reports Strong Q2 FY26 Standalone and Consolidated Results
CESC Limited announced its Q2 FY26 standalone and consolidated financial results, reporting increased revenue and profit. The Board also declared an interim dividend of ₹6 per equity share with October 27, 2025, as the record date.
