Hero MotoCorp shareholders have another reason to celebrate in 2026.
The company has announced its second dividend of the year, offering a strong payout to eligible investors.
The auto giant has declared a dividend of ₹75 per share, which translates to a massive 3750% dividend based on the face value of ₹2 per share.
Hero MotoCorp Announces ₹75 Dividend
Hero MotoCorp informed stock exchanges that investors holding shares before the record date will be eligible for the dividend benefit.
The company has fixed July 24, 2026, as the record date for this dividend.
This means investors whose names appear in the company’s records on that date will receive the payout.
Earlier this year in February, Hero MotoCorp had already rewarded shareholders with a dividend of ₹110 per share.

Hero MotoCorp has been regularly paying dividends for more than two decades.
The company first paid a dividend in 2001, when shareholders received ₹3 per share.
