GAIL Dividend 2026 Record Date: Interim ₹5 Payout Set

Gail Dividend 2026 Record Date

The GAIL (India) Ltd interim dividend 2026 record date is 5 February 2026, as fixed by the board in its 31 January 2026 meeting. Shareholders whose names appear on the register or in demat records at the end of this record date will be eligible to receive the interim dividend for FY 2025–26.

For long‑term PSU followers, this isn’t surprising GAIL has a steady history of interim payouts around January–February, and the company has again used the Q3 results window to reward investors.

The interim dividend itself has been declared at ₹5.00 per equity share (50% on a face value of ₹10), translating into a sizeable cash outgo of over ₹3,200 crore. At recent prices, this works out to a dividend yield of roughly 3% for this single payout, which is fairly attractive for an energy PSU that also offers growth exposure to India’s gas and pipeline story.

The company has indicated that the dividend will be paid within the statutory 30‑day window from board approval, and all payments will be processed electronically, so investors who haven’t updated bank details or KYC with their depository/registrar may want to sort that out before the record date.
