Oil India Declares Second Interim Dividend of ₹7/share; Approves Q3 FY26 Results
Oil India Limited declared a second interim dividend of ₹7 per share for FY2025-26, with payment by March 11, 2026, and a record date of February 18, 2026. The company also approved unaudited Q3 FY26 financial results and decided to divest its 50% stake in a non-performing Russian asset, Licence-61.
The dividend payout is a direct benefit to shareholders. The financial results provide clarity on the company's performance. The divestment from a non-performing asset is a strategic decision that could lead to future improvements, but its immediate impact is limited.
The declaration of an interim dividend and the approval of quarterly results are positive indicators for shareholders. While the divestment of a non-performing asset is a strategic move, it is not immediately impactful on current financials.
Oil India Limited (OIL) announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on February 10, 2026. The Board has approved the unaudited financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025, on both standalone and consolidated bases, along with the auditors' limited review report.
Additionally, the company declared a second interim dividend of ₹7 per share (70% of paid-up capital) for the financial year 2025-26. This dividend will be paid on or before March 11, 2026. The record date for determining the eligibility of shareholders for this dividend payment has been set as February 18, 2026.
In a strategic move, the Board also approved the divestment of OIL's 50% participating interest in Licence-61, Russia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, OilIndia International B.V., Netherlands. This asset is non-performing, with production suspended since August 2022, and the entity is under bankruptcy administration. The divestment process is expected to take approximately 18 months.
The company also informed that it has fully provided for its investment exposure in the Russian asset. OIL will continue to be invested in two other producing assets in Russia: Vankorneft and Taas Yuryakh, which are currently producing and generating dividends.
The Board meeting commenced at 11:00 AM and concluded at 6:45 PM.
