DICDL paid no dividend again, and its exemption request from the year before is still unanswered

The board recommended no dividend for 2024-25, and the request DICDL sent the state seeking exemption from the dividend rules for 2023-24 was still awaiting a reply when the report was signed on 10 November 2025.

Confirmed by an official document: a government release, a filing, or the company's own published statement.

Gujarat has a finance department resolution of 24 April 2023 governing dividends from state public sector undertakings. DICDL asked the Industries and Mines Department to be excused from it for 2023-24, says a reply is awaited, and says it will send a similar request for 2024-25. It earned Rs 51.53 crore in the year and says it needs to retain the money.

This is a small window into how a public infrastructure company is actually financed. It made a profit and it is arguing that the profit should stay in the project rather than go to the shareholder.

What the source itself says

The board recommended no dividend for FY2024-25. Under a Gujarat finance department resolution of 24 April 2023 on dividend distribution by state public sector undertakings, DICDL sent a proposal to the Industries and Mines Department seeking exemption for FY2023-24; the report states a reply is awaited. It says it will send a similar proposal for FY2024-25. The company earned Rs 5,152.72 lakh in the year and says it needs to retain it.
