“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.

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.
Dividend Income
What BHARATFORG would pay on your holding
Based on the last twelve months of declared dividends. A company can cut or raise its payout at any time, so this is a record of what it recently paid, not an income you can count on.
| Invested | A year at today's price | If you had bought 10 years ago |
|---|---|---|
| ₹1.00L | ₹420 | ₹2,000 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹2,100 | ₹10,000 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹4,200 | ₹20,000 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹10,500 | ₹50,000 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹21,000 | ₹1,00,000 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 2.0% against 0.4% today. It is what a long holder is actually earning, and it is the reason a low headline yield on a growing payer is not the whole story.

BHARATFORG dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does BHARATFORG pay?+
Bharat Forge Ltd. paid ₹9 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 0.42% against the current share price. It has paid in 20 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹78 per share.
What is the dividend yield of BHARATFORG?+
BHARATFORG's trailing dividend yield is 0.42% — 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 BHARATFORG paid dividends consistently?+
Bharat Forge Ltd. has paid in 19 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.
What would BHARATFORG dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against BHARATFORG's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 2.0%, against 0.4% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹20,000 a year at the current payout. That gap is what a growing dividend does over time, and it is invisible in the headline yield.
How much of BHARATFORG's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years BHARATFORG's share price moved +1158.6% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +1395.5% — so dividends account for about 17% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did BHARATFORG last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-07-03, at ₹7 per share. In 2026 it has paid 2 times, totalling ₹9 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.

Methodology
Exactly how every figure on this page is calculated.
Dividend figures come from our price data provider's recorded ex-dates and are per share, before tax. Dividends in India are taxed in the recipient's hands and TDS may apply — nothing here accounts for that. ReturnScreener is an educational research platform and is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. A payout can be cut or suspended at any time; past dividends are not a forecast of future ones.
