Price vs Dividends
How much of ONGC's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 20 years Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd.'s quoted price moved +71.7%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +304.0% — which makes dividends 76% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -0.6% | +5.4 pts | +4.8% | 100% |
| 3 years | +33.4% | +21.3 pts | +54.7% | 39% |
| 5 years | +92.7% | +70.6 pts | +163.2% | 43% |
| 10 years | +47.4% | +100.1 pts | +147.5% | 68% |
| 15 years | +32.3% | +130.1 pts | +162.4% | 80% |
| 20 years | +71.7% | +232.3 pts | +304.0% | 76% |
“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 ONGC 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 | ₹5,810 | ₹8,570 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹29,050 | ₹42,850 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹58,100 | ₹85,700 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹1,45,250 | ₹2,14,250 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹2,90,500 | ₹4,28,500 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 8.6% against 5.8% 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.

ONGC dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does ONGC pay?+
Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. paid ₹14 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 5.81% against the current share price. It has paid in 21 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹147 per share.
What is the dividend yield of ONGC?+
ONGC's trailing dividend yield is 5.81% — 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 ONGC paid dividends consistently?+
Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. has paid in 20 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 ONGC dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against ONGC's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 8.6%, against 5.8% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹85,700 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 ONGC's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years ONGC's share price moved +71.7% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +304.0% — so dividends account for about 76% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did ONGC last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-02-18, at ₹6 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹6 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
