Power Grid Corporation of India, a government-controlled company that runs the country’s main power transmission network, has declared a first interim dividend of ₹3 per share for the financial year 2026-27. Shareholders whose names are on the company’s register on 6 November 2026 (the record date) are entitled to it, and payment is due on 30 November 2026. Its consolidated net profit for July to September 2026 was ₹3,866 crore, up 8.4% from a year earlier. The figures come from news reports of the company’s filing, reported on 1 November 2026.
Key terms
- Interim dividend is a payout to shareholders declared during the financial year, before the year-end accounts are final.
- Record date is the cut-off day the company uses to decide which shareholders get the dividend. Only those on its register on that day are eligible.
- Consolidated profit adds the company’s subsidiaries and associates to its own accounts.
- Face value is the nominal value printed on a share, not its market price.
The dividend
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dividend | ₹3 per equity share (first interim dividend for 2026-27) |
| Record date | Friday, 6 November 2026 |
| Payment date | Monday, 30 November 2026 |
| Face value | ₹10 per share, so ₹3 is 30% of face value (Goodreturns) |
By arithmetic, a holder of 100 shares on the record date would be due ₹300 before any tax.
Q2 FY27 results
| Metric | Q2 FY27 | Q2 FY26 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated net profit (₹ crore) | 3,866.16 | 3,566.08 | +8.4% |
| Consolidated total income (₹ crore) | 12,055.11 | 11,670.24 | +3.3% |
Q2 FY27 means the second quarter of the financial year 2026-27 (July to September 2026), and the comparison is with the same quarter a year earlier. Both percentage changes check by arithmetic from the reported figures. The total income row is as reported by Goodreturns only. For the six months to 30 September 2026, Whalesbook reported consolidated net profit of ₹7,464.58 crore.
Basis of these figures
Power Grid’s exchange filing and the results page on its website could not be opened for this article. All figures are attributed to reports by Upstox, Whalesbook and Goodreturns. The three agree on the ₹3 dividend, the 6 November record date and the 30 November payment date. Upstox and Goodreturns agree on the ₹3,866 crore quarterly profit and ₹3,566 crore a year earlier (Upstox rounds to the crore); Whalesbook gave only half-year figures. The exact profit figures, total income and the ₹10 face value are from Goodreturns alone, and the half-year profit is from Whalesbook alone. Upstox reported consolidated revenue from operations rather than total income, so it does not confirm the total income row. The reports do not give a standalone profit for the quarter, so none is stated. Details reported by only one outlet, and other items in the board outcome, were left out.
