Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has declared an interim dividend of ₹1 per equity share for the financial year 2025–26, amounting to 10% of the company’s paid-up share capital. The public sector enterprise has stated that the dividend will be credited to eligible shareholders on or before March 6, 2026.

Record Date and Eligibility Details

RVNL has fixed February 11, 2026, as the record date for determining which shareholders will be entitled to receive the interim dividend. Investors whose names are reflected in the company’s register of members or in depository records as of this date will qualify for the payout.

The ex-dividend date also falls on February 11, 2026. Accordingly, investors must purchase RVNL shares prior to this date to be eligible for the interim dividend, as shares bought on or after the ex-date will not carry dividend entitlement.

Earlier, shareholders received a final dividend of ₹0.36 per share in 2023, along with an interim dividend of ₹1.77 per share paid in April of the same year. This consistent payout record reflects the company’s focus on rewarding shareholders while continuing to expand its infrastructure project portfolio.
