Price vs Dividends
How much of COALINDIA's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 15 years Coal India Ltd.'s quoted price moved +6.8%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +221.7% — which makes dividends 97% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | +7.0% | +5.8 pts | +12.8% | 46% |
| 3 years | +74.3% | +38.2 pts | +112.5% | 34% |
| 5 years | +174.9% | +147.3 pts | +322.3% | 46% |
| 10 years | +20.2% | +142.7 pts | +162.9% | 88% |
| 15 years | +6.8% | +214.9 pts | +221.7% | 97% |
“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 COALINDIA 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 | ₹5,300 | ₹6,370 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹26,500 | ₹31,850 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹53,000 | ₹63,700 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹1,32,500 | ₹1,59,250 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹2,65,000 | ₹3,18,500 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 6.4% against 5.3% 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.

COALINDIA dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does COALINDIA pay?+
Coal India Ltd. paid ₹21 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 5.30% against the current share price. It has paid in 16 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹301 per share.
What is the dividend yield of COALINDIA?+
COALINDIA's trailing dividend yield is 5.30% — 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 COALINDIA paid dividends consistently?+
Coal India Ltd. has paid in 15 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 COALINDIA dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against COALINDIA's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 6.4%, against 5.3% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹63,700 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 COALINDIA's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 15 years COALINDIA's share price moved +6.8% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +221.7% — so dividends account for about 97% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did COALINDIA last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-07-31, at ₹6 per share. In 2026 it has paid 2 times, totalling ₹11 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
