Bharti Airtel dividends since 1 April 2021

Amounts as the company declared them on the NSE. A dividend goes to whoever owns the shares before the ex-date.

Yes. Bharti Airtel Ltd paid out 55% of its profit as dividends in FY26, and it paid a dividend in 11 of its last 13 reported years. One of those years shows a negative figure because profit itself was negative.

From the NSE corporate-actions record, read 5 November 2026.

On the call for April to June 2026, held on 5 August 2026, Bharti Airtel's management guided: Airtel Money preparing for a London listing in H2 2026.

“The reason we have gone out on a limb to say that our ambition is to reach 1 gigawatt in the next few years is that we have a very clear line of sight to actually get there.”Gopal Vittal, on the call for April to June 2026

What management guided

• Nextra data-center capacity ambition: 1 gigawatt over the next few years from current 120-130 megawatts; capital spending becomes lumpy with land and build-out.
• Long-term ARPU growth of 4-5% over the next 5-7 years if industry pricing architecture is repaired.
• Home broadband momentum expected to return as acquisition quality improves, fiber deployment accelerates and FWA becomes selective.
• Airtel Business revenue growth prioritized; margins may trend slightly down as digital mix rises.

From the call for April to June 2026, 5 August 2026.

When Bharti Airtel reports July to September 2026, these are the 4 checks that show whether the story is still on course. First: Airtel Money listing progress - verify London process advances within the stated second-half window.

Bharti Airtel is on 3 of our India lists: Momentum stocks, Nifty 50 companies and AI & data centre stocks.

Bharti Airtel Ltd earned ₹10,012 Cr of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +34.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was ₹33,823 Cr. Over 10 years profit has grown 17.2% a year on average. That is 17.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned ₹7,422 Cr.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was ₹33,823 Cr (−9.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +18.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.0 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +17.5% and revenue +19.8%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace.

Bharti Airtel Ltd reported ₹58,539 Cr of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +18.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 10 years it has grown 8.1% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at ₹2,10,973 Cr.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to ₹2,20,049 Cr.

FY26 revenue was ₹2,10,973 Cr, +22.0% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +19.8% on average, against 8.1% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +19.6%, against +20.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −9.4%, against +76.0% a year (rolling over).

Bharti Airtel Ltd's operating margin was 57.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 1.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 13 years it has been between 31.0% and 55.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every ₹100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +0.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years, 375% of Bharti Airtel Ltd's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in ₹1,22,230 Cr of operating cash against ₹33,823 Cr of profit. After ₹72,519 Cr of spending on assets, ₹49,711 Cr was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why 375% of profit came in as cash: the cash cycle stayed about the same between FY21 and FY26, so the cash follows profit, not the cycle.

What to look at next: the bigger use of cash is spending on new assets, at 1.7× depreciation over three years. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Bharti Airtel Ltd's cash cycle, the days between paying suppliers and getting paid by customers, was 14 days in FY26, up from 13 days in FY21. It spent ₹2,30,275 Cr on assets over the last 3 years.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

At FY26 sales of ₹2,10,973 Cr, each day of that cycle ties up about ₹578 Cr, so roughly ₹8,092 Cr is tied up in the business at any time.

Spending on assets: ₹2,30,275 Cr over the last 3 years, against ₹1,37,819 Cr of depreciation (the yearly wear and tear on existing assets). So it is building well beyond replacing what wears out. Work still in progress is ₹12,938 Cr (FY26): assets paid for that are not earning yet.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Bharti Airtel Ltd's P/E is 41.3×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 27% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 58.7×, over 11 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many rupees the market pays for each rupee of yearly profit.

The P/E here, and its history, use a profit figure that can leave out one-off items, so it can differ from a P/E worked out on the quarterly results. Those results' earnings per share for the four quarters to Jun 2026 add up to ₹48.65.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
