Price vs Dividends
How much of RAILTEL's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 5 years Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd.'s quoted price moved +123.6%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +141.6% — which makes dividends 13% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -15.0% | +0.9 pts | -14.1% | — |
| 3 years | +33.2% | +3.6 pts | +36.9% | 10% |
| 5 years | +123.6% | +18.0 pts | +141.6% | 13% |
“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.
Payout Record
RAILTEL dividend history, year by year
Per share, by the calendar year the dividend went ex — 6 years on record.
| Year | Per share | Payments | Relative size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹2 | 2 | |
| 2025 | ₹3 | 3 | |
| 2024 | ₹3 | 2 | |
| 2023 | ₹4 | 3 | |
| 2022 | ₹2 | 2 | |
| 2021 | ₹2 | 2 |
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.

RAILTEL dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does RAILTEL pay?+
Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd. paid ₹3 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 1.17% against the current share price. It has paid in 6 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹16 per share.
What is the dividend yield of RAILTEL?+
RAILTEL's trailing dividend yield is 1.17% — 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 RAILTEL paid dividends consistently?+
Railtel Corporation Of India Ltd. has paid in 5 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.
How much of RAILTEL's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 5 years RAILTEL's share price moved +123.6% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +141.6% — so dividends account for about 13% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did RAILTEL last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-08-13, at ₹1 per share. In 2026 it has paid 2 times, totalling ₹2 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
