Vedanta to Consider Fourth Interim Dividend

Mining major Vedanta Ltd said on 25 September that its board will meet on 8 October to consider the fourth interim dividend for FY25.

The record date for the dividend, if declared, has been fixed as 16 October.

Earlier this month, Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta approved a third dividend of Rs 20 per share for the current financial year, taking the total dividend payout so far for FY25 to Rs 134.7 bn.

On 26 July, the board approved a second interim dividend of Rs 4 per equity share, amounting to Rs 15.6 bn. In May, a first interim dividend of Rs 11 per equity share, totalling Rs 40.9 bn was approved.

This takes the total dividend for 2024-25 so far to Rs 134.7 bn.

Similarly, during 2023-24, Vedanta had declared a total interim dividend of Rs 29.5 per share, amounting to Rs 109.7 bn for shareholders.

The steady flow of dividends and appreciation in capital for investors has helped in generating a five-year total shareholding return and dividend yield of 276% and 65%, respectively, as per Vedanta's investor presentation.

SBI's Rs 1 Trillion Milestone

State Bank of India (SBI) is aiming to become the first Indian financial firm to cross a milestone of Rs 1 trillion (tn) net profit in the next 3-5 years, the chairman of the country's largest lender CS Setty has said.

SBI recorded a standalone net profit of Rs 610.8 bn in FY24, registering a growth of 21.6%.

With regard to corporate loan demand, Setty said, the bank has already got a Rs 4 lakh crore strong credit pipeline from India Inc and capital expenditure by the private sector is expected to pick up in the second half of the fiscal year.

As far as public spending is concerned, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Budget proposed to raise the capital expenditure target by 11.1% to record Rs 11.1 tn for 2024-25. This is 3.4% of the country's GDP.

Setty said some of the corporates had undertaken brownfield expansion for which the capital expenditure was funded by their own cash accruals and cash balances that they had.

Stressing that the private capital expenditure will definitely pick up during the year, he said, there is renewed government expenditure after the first quarter slowdown due to general elections.
