Dividend Distribution Policy
Dividend Distribution Policy
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
POLICY
OBJECTIVE
The Company’s management seeks to optimize shareholder return through various means including
dividends, share buybacks and long term capital appreciation. The Company aims to strike the right
balance between the quantum of profits returned to shareholders and that retained in the business for
various purposes. The Board of Directors (“Board”) will refer this policy while declaring/
recommending dividend on behalf of the Company. By virtue of this policy, the Company would
endeavor to maintain a consistent and measured approach to dividend pay-out.
GUIDELINES
The Board may declare interim dividend and/or recommend final dividend, payable to the
shareholders of the Company subject to applicable laws.
In doing so, the Board would take various financial parameters and factors (both internal and external)
into consideration including:
The Board may declare an interim dividend one or more times in a financial year in line with this
policy. This would be in order to supplement the annual dividend or in exceptional situations.
Whereas, the final dividend may be declared once for the financial year after the annual accounts are
prepared. The Board of Directors of the Company has the power to recommend the payment of final
dividend to the shareholders in an Annual General Meeting.
In case the Board proposes not to distribute the profit; the grounds thereof and information on
utilization of the undistributed profit, if any, shall be disclosed to the shareholders in the Annual

Report of the Company.
The dividend distribution shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act,
2013, Rules framed thereunder, Listing Regulations and other legislations governing dividends and
the Articles of Association of the Company, as in force and as amended from time to time.
The Company may return a percentage of free cash flow to shareholders in the form of interim and/or
final dividend and/or share buyback. This percentage will be arrived at by the Board after considering
the funding requirements of the Company going forward, in terms of growth, expansion and delivery.
The Board shall have the discretion to re-consider this policy, mainly in light of the guidelines
mentioned earlier, applicable laws and requisite approvals.
DISCLOSURES
This Policy shall be uploaded on the Company’s website for public information and the web link of
the same shall be provided in the Annual Report of the Company.
The Board or any Committee authorized in this regard, may review and make necessary changes from
time to time. In case of any inconsistency between the terms of this Policy and applicable law, the
latter shall prevail.
DISCLAIMER
The Policy does not constitute a commitment regarding future dividends of the Company, but only
represents a general guidance regarding payment of dividend. The Policy does not in any way restrict
the right of the Board to use its discretion in the recommendation of the dividend to be distributed
considering various factors mentioned in the Policy. Further, subject to the provisions of applicable
laws, the Board reserves the right to depart from the policy as and when circumstances so warrant.
