The Indian equity benchmark indices opened lower on Thursday, February 12, 2026, amid mixed global cues. Overnight, major Wall Street indices ended in the red after a stronger-than-expected jobs report dampened hopes of near-term Fed rate cuts. The broader market also lagged, with the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 down over 0.50% each.
In this profit-booking environment, Majestic Auto's share price surged over 7% and hit a fresh 52-week high on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
Majestic Auto was originally incorporated as a private limited company in 1973 as “Majestic Gears (P) Limited”. It manufactured bicycle components for Hero Cycles Pvt. Ltd and was part of the well-known Hero group. The company later changed its name to Majestic Auto and became a public limited company. Since 2015, it has transitioned into real estate and facility management services and acquired Emirates Technologies Private Limited.
On February 12, 2026, as of 10:07 AM, Majestic Auto's share price was trading higher by 7% at ₹418 per share on BSE. The stock was in focus after the company announced a special interim dividend of 350% (₹35 per equity share of face value ₹10 each) for the financial year 2025-26, its highest dividend to date.

Majestic Auto has maintained regular dividends over the past few years. It paid ₹7.5 per share as a final dividend in November 2021 and again in February 2023. The payout increased to an interim dividend of ₹15 per share in February 2024. In CY25, it declared two interim dividends of ₹5 per share each, with ex-dates in February 2025 and August 2025.
The company announced a special interim dividend after realising profits from the sale of its investment in its subsidiary. Majestic Auto liquidated its entire stake in Emirates Technologies Private Limited (ETPL) by way of sale of its holdings of 1.60 crore equity shares at ₹122.50 per share, aggregating to ₹196 crore on September 4, 2025. Following the sale, ETPL ceased to be a subsidiary of the company with effect from the date.
The record date for the special interim dividend is Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The record date is the cut-off date; shareholders whose shares are in their demat account on this day are eligible to receive the dividend. This dividend will be paid on or before March 13, 2026, subject to applicable taxes.
Majestic Auto’s share price has gained 23.42% in the last week. On a YTD basis, the stock is up 21.92%, and over the last three years, it has surged 192.78%.
Majestic Auto’s 350% special interim dividend is being funded by profits from the subsidiary stake sale, which explains the sharp move in the stock. If you are tracking the payout, keep an eye on the record date; eligibility depends on holding the shares in your demat account on that day.
