Hindustan Zinc plans special dividend payout of Rs 8,000 cr to shareholders

Vedanta group firm Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) plans to dole out a special dividend payout of Rs 8,000 crore to its shareholders in the current fiscal, according to sources. HZL's board is likely to meet on Tuesday to consider and approve the special dividend payment for this fiscal, they said. "Of this, around 30 per cent or Rs 2,400 crore may go to the Centre contributing to its non-tax revenues for the fiscal," sources in the know of the development said. The move follows the National Company Law Tribunal's (NCLT) approval to transfer Rs 10,383 crore of general reserves to its retained earnings. This special dividend will be over and above the regular dividend of around Rs 6,000 crore, which HZL doles out every year. Apart from the government, this will also benefit promoter Vedanta Ltd, which holds around 65 per cent stake in HZL, and will receive around Rs 5,100 crore, which it may use to further de-leverage its balance sheet. Vedanta will also be selling up to a 3.31 per cent

It said the mega dividend will give a fillip to the central government's fiscal position, which may lead to additional spending or fiscal consolidation or a combination of both.
