Price vs Dividends
How much of TATACOMM's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 20 years Tata Communications Ltd.'s quoted price moved +553.5%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +769.6% — which makes dividends 28% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |

| 3 years | -5.3% | +3.2 pts | -2.1% | — |
| 5 years | +19.4% | +8.4 pts | +27.9% | 30% |

“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 TATACOMM 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 | ₹1,030 | ₹5,360 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹5,150 | ₹26,800 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹10,300 | ₹53,600 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹25,750 | ₹1,34,000 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹51,500 | ₹2,68,000 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 5.4% against 1.0% 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.

TATACOMM dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does TATACOMM pay?+
Tata Communications Ltd. paid ₹18 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 1.03% against the current share price. It has paid in 19 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹169 per share.
What is the dividend yield of TATACOMM?+
TATACOMM's trailing dividend yield is 1.03% — 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 TATACOMM paid dividends consistently?+
Tata Communications 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 TATACOMM dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against TATACOMM's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 5.4%, against 1.0% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹53,600 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 TATACOMM's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years TATACOMM's share price moved +553.5% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +769.6% — so dividends account for about 28% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did TATACOMM last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-06-19, at ₹18 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹18 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
