Mumbai, January 15, 2026: DB Corp Limited (BSE: 533151 | NSE: DBCORP) on Thursday announced a series of key decisions following a meeting of its Board of Directors, including approval of its unaudited financial results for the December 2025 quarter and nine-month period, declaration of a second interim dividend for FY26, and changes in senior management within its technology leadership.

Q3 FY26 Financial Performance Approved​

The Board approved the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025.
