ADNOC Distribution also unveiled a roadmap to electrify eight key United Arab Emirates highways by the end of 2027, including the inauguration of a large EV charging site. Furthermore, the company is advancing AI initiatives, signing an agreement with DTEK for self-checkout solutions and entering agreements with Emirates Global Aluminium and Borouge for lubrication solutions. The Board of Directors approved the first quarterly dividend of 2026 at 5.14 fils per share, to be paid in June, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder returns through an extended dividend policy until 2030.
