What was filed
NTPC informed the exchanges of two linked items: the date of its 50th Annual General Meeting and the record date for its final dividend for FY2025-26. The AGM will be held on 27 August 2026 at 10:30 a.m. through video conferencing and other audio-visual means. The record date has been fixed for 2 September 2026, in continuation of the company's earlier disclosure dated 23 May 2026, per the filing.
The dividend and its conditions
The final dividend was recommended by the Board at its meeting on 23 May 2026, and the filing notes it remains subject to approval by members at the AGM. If approved, payment — after deduction of tax at source — will be made on or after 23 September 2026. The record date is the cut-off used to ascertain which members are entitled to the payment.
Why the dates matter
For a holder, the record date is the operative detail: entitlement to the final dividend turns on holding shares on that date. The AGM date and the on-or-after payment date complete the timeline set out in the filing. This is a procedural intimation under Regulation 42 of SEBI's LODR Regulations rather than a new financial disclosure.
