VBL Board Approves Final Dividend of ₹0.50, Approves AGM on Apr 1, 2026, and Solar Power Investment
Varun Beverages Limited declared a final dividend of ₹0.50 per share for FY25. The company will hold its 31st AGM on April 1, 2026. VBL also approved investing up to ₹1.58 Crore for a 30% stake in FPEL HR2 Energy Private Limited to secure solar power. The solar power investment is expected to be completed by November 2, 2026.
The dividend payout is a positive signal to shareholders. The investment in solar power, while strategic for long-term cost savings and sustainability, is a relatively small amount for VBL, hence the medium impact.
The announcement includes a positive development regarding dividend payout and a strategic investment in renewable energy, which is generally viewed favorably.
Varun Beverages Limited (VBL) announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held today, February 3, 2026, which commenced at 11:00 A.M. and concluded at 11:55 A.M.
The Board approved the Audited Financial Results for the Quarter and Financial Year ended December 31, 2025, both on a standalone and consolidated basis. The results were accompanied by an unmodified audit report from joint statutory auditors M/s. O P Bagla & Co. LLP and M/s. J C Bhalla & Co.
A final dividend of ₹0.50 (Fifty Paisa) per Equity Share of the nominal value of ₹2 each for the Financial Year ended December 31, 2025, was recommended, subject to the approval of the Equity Shareholders. The dividend will be paid within the prescribed statutory period, with a Record Date to be fixed by the Board.
Furthermore, the Board approved the continuation of Mr. Abhiram Seth's directorship as a Non-Executive Independent Director, subject to shareholder approval at the 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) on attaining the age of 75 on December 8, 2026. Mr. Seth is not debarred from holding such an office.
The 31st AGM is scheduled to be convened on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, via Video Conferencing / Other Audio Video Means (VC/OAVM).
In a strategic move, the company also approved an investment of up to 30% of the Equity Share Capital of FPEL HR2 Energy Private Limited, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) engaged in generating and supplying solar power. This investment aims to secure solar power for captive consumption at VBL's facilities in Haryana, reduce power costs, and promote environmental friendliness. The completion of this solar power investment is expected on or before November 2, 2026, with VBL investing up to ₹1.58 Crore in tranches.
