HUL Dividend has been declared at Rs 19 per equity share for the financial year 2026-27, giving shareholders an update on the company’s latest payout.
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) announced the interim dividend on October 28, 2026, alongside its September-quarter financial results.
The record date is November 12, 2026, and the payment is scheduled for November 25, 2026.

The dividend is equivalent to 1,900% of the share’s face value of Re 1.
However, the amount an investor receives will depend on the number of eligible shares held and whether the investor meets the company’s dividend eligibility requirements.
HUL Dividend: Record Date and Payment Details
HUL has fixed November 12, 2026, as the record date to determine which shareholders qualify for the interim dividend.
The company has scheduled the payment for November 25, 2026. Investors should check official exchange disclosures for the applicable eligibility and settlement requirements.
For example, an eligible shareholder holding 100 HUL shares would receive Rs 1,900 before any applicable tax deductions.
An investor holding 50 shares would receive Rs 950, provided the shares qualify for the payout.
The record date is important because it determines which shareholders are entitled to receive the dividend.
Investors should not assume that buying shares on the record date automatically qualifies them for the payout; they should verify the applicable ex-dividend date and settlement rules with their broker or stock exchange.
HUL September Quarter Results
The dividend announcement came with HUL’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
The company reported consolidated net profit of Rs 2,790 crore, up approximately 3.9% from Rs 2,685 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
Revenue from operations increased to Rs 18,226 crore, compared with Rs 15,919 crore a year earlier, according to the reported quarterly results.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at Rs 4,089 crore, while the reported EBITDA margin was around 22.4%.
The company also reported underlying volume growth of 7%, indicating an increase in sales volumes.
Underlying sales growth reached 15%, which HUL described as its strongest performance on this measure in 14 quarters.
Which HUL Businesses Recorded Growth?
HUL’s Home Care business recorded underlying sales growth of 22%, supported by strong demand across fabric wash and household care products.
Its Beauty and Wellbeing business reported 16% growth, with hair care and premium skincare products contributing to the performance.
Unilever
Personal Care recorded underlying sales growth of 9%, led by skin cleansing products.
The Foods business also reported 9% growth, supported by performance in packaged foods, lifestyle nutrition and coffee.
These results provide context for the company’s dividend decision, but a dividend declaration alone does not establish whether the stock is attractively valued.
Investors should also consider earnings trends, margins, cash flows and the company’s longer-term business outlook.
What HUL Shareholders Should Know
The Rs 19 interim dividend provides a direct payout to eligible shareholders, while the quarterly results offer an update on the company’s financial performance.
Investors who want to receive the dividend should confirm their eligibility, track the record date and check their broker’s corporate-action information.
Dividend income may be subject to applicable tax rules, depending on the investor’s circumstances.
Shareholders should also remember that dividend payments and share-price movements are separate: a dividend does not guarantee a gain in the market value of the stock.
With the payment scheduled for November 25, investors have time to review the company’s official announcement and ensure their holdings meet the applicable requirements.
The final amount credited may differ from the gross dividend because of any applicable deductions.
