Linde India recommends 120% dividend; AGM on Aug 13, 2026
Linde India's Board approved FY26 audited results and recommended a 120% dividend (₹12 per share). The AGM is on August 13, 2026, with book closure from August 7-13, 2026. Consolidated revenue was ₹25,306.40 crore and profit before tax was ₹7,334.75 crore for FY26.
The dividend announcement and the approval of annual results are material events for shareholders. The modified audit opinion introduces some uncertainty, but the overall positive nature of the dividend and the established financial performance suggest a medium impact.
The company announced a significant dividend payout and scheduled its AGM, which are generally viewed positively by investors. Although the audit report had a modified opinion, the core financial results and dividend recommendation outweigh this concern for sentiment.

The Board has recommended a total dividend of 120%, equivalent to ₹12 per equity share, including a special dividend of 80% (₹8 per equity share).
