When a company makes profit, it can either reinvest in the business or share a part of it with its shareholders. This shared money is called a dividend. The return an investor gets from dividends compared to the stock price is called dividend yield. Higher yield means the company is giving back more cash to its shareholders. For FY25, these 10 companies stood out for giving the highest dividend yields in India (as per SBI Securities): 1. Premco Global – 10.3% yield (very high; payout 156%). 2. Vedanta – 9.3% yield, payout 113%. 3. MSTC – 8.5% yield, payout 70%. 4. Jagran Prakashan – 8.3% yield, payout 100%. 5. PTC India – 7% yield, payout 39%. 6. Coal India – 6.8% yield, payout 46%. 7. Castrol India – 6.5% yield, payout 139%. 8. Gujarat Intrux – 6.1% yield, payout 81%. 9. Hindustan Zinc – 6% yield, payout 118%. 10. Nirlon Ltd – 5.6% yield, payout 107%. What this means for investors These companies reward shareholders regularly and can be good for people who want steady income. Very high payout ratios (like above 100%) mean the company is giving away more than it earns, which may not be sustainable for long. Also, high dividends don’t always mean the stock price will grow. Takeaway: Dividend-paying stocks are often stable and investor-friendly, but before buying, check if the company’s profits and business model can support such payouts in the future.
