Price vs Dividends
How much of POWERGRID's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 15 years Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd.'s quoted price moved +372.0%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +727.4% — which makes dividends 49% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -3.3% | +2.7 pts | -0.6% | — |
| 3 years | +45.1% | +15.6 pts | +60.6% | 26% |
| 5 years | +102.3% | +59.4 pts | +161.7% | 37% |
| 10 years | +157.5% | +149.9 pts | +307.4% | 49% |
| 15 years | +372.0% | +355.3 pts | +727.4% | 49% |
“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 POWERGRID 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 | ₹2,910 | ₹7,500 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹14,550 | ₹37,500 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹29,100 | ₹75,000 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹72,750 | ₹1,87,500 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹1,45,500 | ₹3,75,000 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 7.5% against 2.9% 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.

POWERGRID dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does POWERGRID pay?+
Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. paid ₹8 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 2.91% against the current share price. It has paid in 19 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹83 per share.
What is the dividend yield of POWERGRID?+
POWERGRID's trailing dividend yield is 2.91% — 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 POWERGRID paid dividends consistently?+
Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. has paid in 18 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 POWERGRID dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against POWERGRID's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 7.5%, against 2.9% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹75,000 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 POWERGRID's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 15 years POWERGRID's share price moved +372.0% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +727.4% — so dividends account for about 49% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did POWERGRID last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-02-09, at ₹3 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹3 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
