Coal India leads large-cap dividend yields in FY26 at 6.6%, outpacing Wipro, ITC, BPCL and ONGC
Coal India has emerged as the top large-cap stock in India for dividend yield in FY26, offering a yield of nearly 6.6%, the highest among its peers. This places it ahead of other major dividend-paying companies such as Wipro, ITC, BPCL and ONGC, all of which also recorded yields above 5% for the financial year.
The data highlights Coal India’s consistent payout track record, with the company having declared nearly 35 dividends since February 18, 2011. In the last one year alone, it distributed approximately ₹26.50 per share in dividends to shareholders.
Wipro followed with a dividend yield supported by ₹8 per share paid over the last year, having announced 38 dividends since May 8, 2000. ONGC declared ₹13.25 per share in the same period, marking over 60 dividends in 26 years. ITC distributed ₹14.50 per share, continuing its trend of regular payouts with more than 30 dividends in the last 25 years.
On the trading front, Coal India’s share price closed 0.67% lower at ₹421.5 on the BSE as of Thursday, October 1. Wipro rose 0.69% to ₹159.50, while ONGC fell 1.07% to ₹222 and ITC declined 2.56% to ₹257 during the same session.
Dividend yield, calculated as the annual dividend per share divided by the current market price, remains a key metric for income-focused investors seeking steady returns from established large-cap stocks.
