Hero MotoCorp Ltd has announced an interim dividend of ₹110 per equity share for the financial year 2025–26, translating to a payout of 5,500% on the face value of ₹2 per share. The company has set Wednesday, February 11, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility.

Shareholders whose names appear in the company’s records as of the record date will be entitled to receive the interim dividend. The company has indicated that the dividend amount will be credited on or before March 7, 2026.

Key Dates and Shareholder Eligibility

The record date plays a critical role in deciding dividend eligibility. February 11, 2026, also serves as the ex-dividend date, meaning investors must hold Hero MotoCorp shares in their demat accounts prior to this date to qualify for the payout. Shares bought on or after the ex-date will not carry entitlement to the declared interim dividend.

Strong Dividend Distribution History

Hero MotoCorp has demonstrated a consistent approach to rewarding shareholders through regular dividends. In July 2025, the company distributed a final dividend of ₹65 per share, following an interim dividend of ₹100 per share declared in February 2025.

Looking further back, in 2024, shareholders received a final dividend of ₹40 per share along with interim and special dividends aggregating ₹100 per share, underscoring the company’s stable payout policy.

Q3 FY26: Growth in Sales and Profitability

During the third quarter of FY26, Hero MotoCorp reported sales of 16.97 lakh motorcycles and scooters, up from 14.64 lakh units in the corresponding quarter last year, indicating steady demand growth.

Profit after tax (PAT) before exceptional items rose 20% year-on-year to ₹1,439 crore. Reported PAT stood at ₹1,349 crore, reflecting a 12% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.

Summary

Hero MotoCorp has declared an interim dividend of ₹110 per share for FY26, with February 11, 2026, set as both the record and ex-dividend date. Eligible shareholders will receive the payout on or before March 7, 2026.
