HINDZINCDividend History & Yield

Hindustan Zinc Ltd. paid ₹11 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 1.77% against the current share price. It has paid in 19 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹296 per share.

HINDZINC's trailing dividend yield is 1.77% — 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.

Hindustan Zinc Ltd. has paid in 6 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.

Today's dividend measured against HINDZINC's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 4.8%, against 1.8% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹48,500 a year at the current payout. That gap is what a growing dividend does over time, and it is invisible in the headline yield.

Over the last 15 years HINDZINC's share price moved +378.3% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +1283.9% — so dividends account for about 71% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.

The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-04-30, at ₹11 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, 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.
