Price vs Dividends
How much of BDL's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 5 years Bharat Dynamics Ltd.'s quoted price moved +564.5%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +593.6% — which makes dividends 5% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -9.0% | +0.4 pts | -8.7% | — |
| 3 years | +131.9% | +3.3 pts | +135.2% | 2% |
| 5 years | +564.5% | +29.2 pts | +593.6% | 5% |
“Dividends added” is in percentage points of total return, with dividends treated as reinvested at the time they were paid — which is why it compounds and grows faster than the raw cash paid out. “From dividends” is shown only where the total return was positive; against a loss it would be a share of a negative number and would mean nothing.
Payout Record
BDL dividend history, year by year
Per share, by the calendar year the dividend went ex — 9 years on record.
| Year | Per share | Payments | Relative size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹5 | 1 | |
| 2025 | ₹5 | 2 | |
| 2024 | ₹5 | 2 | |
| 2023 | ₹5 | 2 | |

| 2019 | ₹3 | 2 | |
| 2018 | ₹4 | 1 |
Grouped by calendar year rather than financial year, because that is how the ex-dates arrive in the data. A year with an unusually large figure often contains a special dividend rather than a raised regular one.

BDL dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does BDL pay?+
Bharat Dynamics Ltd. paid ₹5 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 0.39% against the current share price. It has paid in 9 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹38 per share.
What is the dividend yield of BDL?+
BDL's trailing dividend yield is 0.39% — the last twelve months of declared dividends divided by the current share price. Yield moves inversely with the price, so a falling share price raises the yield without the company paying a rupee more. That is why the payout record below matters more than the headline number.
Has BDL paid dividends consistently?+
Bharat Dynamics Ltd. has paid in 8 consecutive years, counting back from the last complete calendar year. A streak is a better guide to a company's intent than a single year's yield, which can be inflated by a one-off special dividend. It is still a record of the past — a payout can be cut at any time, and several long-running Indian payers have done exactly that.
How much of BDL's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 5 years BDL's share price moved +564.5% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +593.6% — so dividends account for about 5% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did BDL last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-02-09, at ₹5 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹5 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
