India’s 50 Highest Dividend Paying Stocks Over the Last 10 Years

The Indian stock market has more than 1,500 stocks that people can trade. There are several types of stocks and identifying the best ones can be tricky. The fact that a stock provides high returns does not mean that it is suitable for investment. It may be weak in other areas. On our list, all stocks have done very well over the past decade. They have consistently performed well on the Stock Market and have paid high dividends to their shareholders.

1. TATA Steel

Everyone is familiar with TATA and its wide range of businesses. Of these, TATA Steel is one of the strengths of the TATA group of companies which has managed to become one of the top dividend paying stocks. Considering the past few years and market conditions in difficult times like these, the stock performed well and had a PE ratio of 4.45. The market capitalization of the company is 1.29 lakh crores and after the split, the dividend yield of the company is currently 4.89% , which is not bad at all.

2. Vedanta

Not many stocks on this list will be able to boast their dividend yield percentage like Vedanta. The company is in the mining business and has been one of the top performers in the Indian stock markets with its 14.62% dividend yield making anyone cry with joy. The PE ratio of the company is 5.16 and its market capitalization is Rs 114,452 crore. The current share price is Rs 307.90 as it closed 0.81% lower than before.

3. ONE

A company like ONGC needs no introduction. The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation is in the business of exploring and drilling for oil. With a dividend yield of 7.75% , the company has shown that it is not only doing well, but believes in sharing its profits with investors. The company’s PE ratio stands at 4.17. The market capitalization of the company is 1.69 lakh crore. The current share price is Rs 135.45, down 4.44% from its previous price.

4. GAIL

With a current price of Rs 89.65 per share, the share value is down 0.72% from its previous value. However, the small move down in one day should not distract you from the fact that the company’s dividend yield stands at 11.15% . This oil exploration and drilling company has a PE ratio of 4.83 and its market capitalization is Rs 58,945 crore.

5. Indian oil

This list so far is not surprising at all. All the names that appear in it may sound familiar to you. Keeping with the trend here, we have another familiar face on the list with Indian Oil, which is in the refinery business. They have a market capitalization of Rs 98,919 crore and their one month yield has been 3.78%. With a share price of 70.05, the company’s dividend yield stands at a staggering 16.27% .

6. Indian Coal

When you are in the mining and minerals business, there is no doubt that you are going to succeed. With Coal India Ltd, this is exactly the case as it has some seriously impressive numbers to show for itself. 1,41,403 crore is the market capitalization of this company. The company has a one-year return of 49.58%, which almost sounds too good to be true. The dividend yield of 7.41% of the company’s stock is another incredible number.

7. Indian Oil

Oil exploration seems to be a common avenue for many companies on this list, and another oil explorer, Oil India Ltd, joins the list. The company has a market capitalization of 21,639 crores that it can boast of. People who bought the stock in the last two years have seen 118.68% growth in this time period, which again is a very impressive feat. Apart from this, the dividend yield was 7.14% , which investors must have liked.

8. NHPC

NHPC Ltd is the first company in the power generation and distribution sector to appear on the list, and it is not due to any bias or quota, but simply the numbers it has to show itself. The company has a market capitalization of Rs 41,887 crore. At 27.91%, the one-year yield has been phenomenal for investors , and to add it up, the dividend yield is 4.34% . Good all-round performance has ensured the company made it to this list.

 

9. Bajaj Auto

You cannot leave Bajaj Auto out of the picture when talking about the automotive sector, and rightly so, for the contribution that Bajaj makes to the sector. Currently, the shares of the company are trading at Rs 3,619.50 per share and the market capitalization is Rs 1,02,677 crore. The PE ratio is at an average value of 17.59, and a good dividend yield of 3.87% adds to the list of positive factors. With numbers as good as these, any input would be welcome on this list.

10. Zinc Indostan

It seems to me that if you like mining, you default to a place on this list because you are somehow bound to have good numbers. With Hindustan Zinc, the story begins with its huge market cap which is Rs 1,37,111 crore. The company’s specialty is zinc mining, but what it does is also win the hearts of its investors. As we know? A PE ratio of 12.03 and a dividend yield of 5.55% are certainly two numbers that more than justify our argument.

11. TIC

If we were to get into the business run by this company, we would need quite a bit of time as ITC is immersed in multiple segments and that has helped it to carve out a place on this prestigious list. At Rs 4,18,176 crore, the market capitalization of the company is mind boggling. To make things even better, the company’s PE index is 24.24, with a dividend yield of 3.41% .

12. Hero Motocorp

We have a second company belonging to the automotive sector on the list and, like the first, this one is not a surprise either. When your own name has a hero, who could dare question your work? This company has a market capitalization of Rs 53,503 crore and is in the 2 and 3 wheeler industry. The PE ratio stands at 20.63, which surely helps attract quite a few investors. With this, the company has also been paying out dividends, and the company’s dividend yield stands at 3.55% .
