Dhanuka Agritech Approves Buyback, Final Dividend, and New ESOP/SAR Plans
Dhanuka Agritech's Board approved FY26 audited results. Key decisions include a ₹70 Crore buyback of up to 5,00,000 shares at ₹1,400 each, with a record date of May 29, 2026. A final dividend of 100% (₹2 per share) was recommended, with a record date of July 17, 2026. New ESOP and SAR plans were also approved, subject to shareholder nod at the AGM on August 3, 2026.
The buyback, dividend announcement, and introduction of new employee incentive plans are material events that are likely to have a significant impact on shareholder value and company operations.
The company announced positive financial results, a significant share buyback program, a recommended dividend, and new employee stock option plans, all of which are generally viewed favorably by investors.
Dhanuka Agritech Limited announced a series of significant corporate actions following its Board of Directors meeting held on May 19, 2026. The company approved the audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026, with an unmodified opinion from its statutory auditors, S S Kothari Mehta & Co. LLP.
The Board also approved the introduction and adoption of the Dhanuka Employee Stock Option Plan 2026 (ESOP) and the Dhanuka Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (SARs), 2026. The ESOP plan will grant up to 50,000 options, representing 0.11% of the equity share capital, while the SARs plan will grant up to 1,25,000 SARs, representing 0.28% of the equity share capital. Both plans are subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM).
A major highlight was the approval of a share buyback proposal, where the company intends to buy back up to 5,00,000 equity shares at ₹1,400 per share, not exceeding an aggregate amount of ₹70 Crore. The record date for this buyback has been fixed as May 29, 2026.
Furthermore, the Board recommended a final dividend of 100% (₹2 per equity share) for the financial year 2025-26, subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The record date for dividend entitlement is July 17, 2026.
The 41st AGM is scheduled to be held on August 3, 2026, via Video Conferencing. The company also noted the retirement of Senior Management Personnel, Mr. K.B. Kejariwal, effective March 31, 2026, and re-appointed M/s. N Khandelwal & Co. as Cost Auditors for FY 2026-27. Additionally, the Board approved setting up wholly-owned subsidiaries or acquiring shares outside India in European countries and Brazil, with an initial investment limit of ₹1 Crore per entity, to support international business growth.
