Orient Electric Q4 profit rises 29%; board recommends final dividend of ₹0.75/share

Orient Electric Ltd reported a strong set of Q4 FY26 earnings, with net profit rising nearly 29% year-on-year, supported by steady revenue growth and margin expansion across its businesses.

The company posted a net profit of ₹40.3 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to ₹31.3 crore in the corresponding quarter last year, marking a growth of 28.75% YoY.

Revenue from operations increased 10% year-on-year to ₹948.2 crore against ₹861.9 crore reported in Q4 FY25.

Operating performance also improved during the quarter. EBITDA stood at ₹77.43 crore, up 15.7% from ₹66.92 crore in the year-ago period. EBITDA margin expanded to 8.17% compared to 7.76% a year earlier, indicating improved operational efficiency despite a competitive consumer electricals market.

Alongside the quarterly results, the board of directors recommended a final dividend of ₹0.75 per equity share of face value ₹1 each for FY26, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM).

The company noted that the final dividend will be paid within 30 days from the date of shareholder approval at the AGM.

Orient Electric had earlier declared and paid an interim dividend of ₹0.75 per equity share during the previous quarter of FY26. With the latest recommendation, the total dividend for FY26 stands at ₹1.50 per equity share, translating into a 150% payout on the face value of ₹1 each.

The company said the date of the AGM and the record date for dividend eligibility will be communicated separately in due course.

Orient Electric, part of the CK Birla Group, operates in the consumer electricals segment with products spanning fans, lighting, appliances, and switchgear. The company has been focusing on premiumisation, distribution expansion, and product innovation to strengthen growth momentum across categories.
