Asian Paints Interim Dividend 2026: Record Date and Eligibility
Asian Paints' board will consider an interim dividend for the financial year ending March 2027, along with results for the quarter and half-year ended September 30, 2026, according to Business Today. The record date, if a dividend is declared, is November 4, 2026.
What does that mean for you? India follows T+1 settlement, so the ex-date and record date fall on the same day. To be eligible, you'd generally need to buy the shares by Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Shares bought on November 4 or later won't qualify for this payout.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Last day to buy (T+1 settlement) | Tuesday, November 3, 2026 |
| Ex-date and record date | Wednesday, November 4, 2026 |
| Results and dividend decision | Board meeting before the record date (check exchange filings) |
Remember, the dividend isn't guaranteed until the board approves it. That said, Asian Paints has declared an interim dividend in each of the last two years, as the table below shows.
Asian Paints Dividend History: What Has It Paid Recently?
Here's a look at Asian Paints' recent payouts, based on NSE corporate actions data:
| Dividend | Amount per share | Ex-date |
|---|---|---|
| FY25 interim | ₹4.25 | November 19, 2024 |
| FY25 final | ₹20.55 | June 10, 2025 |
| FY26 interim | ₹4.50 | November 18, 2025 |
| FY26 final | ₹23.00 | June 23, 2026 |

Two things stand out. First, the interim dividend has been a small part of the total, with most of the payout coming as a final dividend after the full-year results. Second, payouts have risen steadily. FY26's total of ₹27.50 per share was about 11% higher than FY25's ₹24.80, by our calculation.
At the October 6 closing price, the FY26 payout works out to a trailing dividend yield of roughly 1.1%. That's modest, which is typical for a consumer company that reinvests heavily in growth. Track the live Asian Paints share price on GoPocket to see how the yield shifts as the price moves.

What Did Asian Paints Report in Q2 Last Year?
Last year's September quarter sets the base for this one. In Q2 FY26, Asian Paints reported a 43% jump in consolidated net profit to ₹993.6 crore, according to Business Standard. Revenue rose 6.4% to ₹8,513.7 crore.
The domestic decorative business, its core, saw volumes grow 10.9% while value growth was 6%, the report said. That gap between volume and value matters. It means customers were buying more paint, but at lower average prices, often because of a shift towards cheaper products or price cuts.
So what's the key number to watch this time? It's that same volume-versus-value gap. If value growth catches up with volume growth, it would suggest pricing power is returning. If the gap widens, it could point to tougher competition or weaker premium demand.
What to Watch in Asian Paints Q2 FY27 Results
- Decorative volume and value growth: the clearest read on demand and pricing.
- Gross margins: paint makers use crude-linked raw materials, and crude near $107 a barrel adds cost pressure. Our rupee vs dollar analysis explains why.
- Competition: new entrants have made the decorative paints market more crowded in recent years.
- Festive and monsoon effects: the timing of the festive season can shift painting demand between quarters.
- Interim dividend amount: compare it with last year's ₹4.50 per share.
