Dividend Stocks in India

These are the 250 Indian stocks with the highest regular dividend yield. Regular means the dividends a company pays as a habit, without one-off specials. The table lists the 186 steady payers first, highest yield first, then the other 64. 16 of them also paid a special dividend in the last 12 months, so the table also shows the total yield with specials.

Download all 250 (CSV). "Paid out of earnings" is the last 12 months' regular dividend divided by the last 12 months' earnings per share. "vs Nifty 500" is the stock's return minus the Nifty 500's, in percentage points.

7 companies worth ₹500 crore or more paid a dividend in the last 12 months but have no yield on this page. They include Hindustan Unilever, Vedanta, TVS Holdings and Natco Pharma. For 7 of them, a demerger, rights issue or similar change to the shares came between the payment and today's price. The yield cannot be worked out without guessing.

For 17 of these companies, NSE has no dividend on record before the last 12 months. That can be a first dividend, or a recent NSE listing whose older payouts are missing, so the years paid may read low.
