Dividend-paying stocks are popular among investors who want regular income along with stability. A dividend is a part of a company’s profit shared with shareholders, usually every year or quarter.
One of the most important measures is dividend yield, which is calculated by dividing annual dividends by the current share price. Higher yields indicate better income potential, but investors also check profits, cash flows and business strength.
MSTC tops the list with an 8% dividend yield. With a current market price of around ₹479, the company paid total dividends of ₹36.5 in the past year. In 2025, MSTC announced multiple payouts, including a large ₹32 per share interim dividend, showing strong cash flows and steady profitability.
PTC India offers a dividend yield of about 7%. With a share price near ₹158, the company paid dividends of ₹11.7 over the last 12 months. In 2025, it declared both interim and final dividends, highlighting its reliable dividend track record in the utilities space.
Castrol India has delivered a 7% dividend yield based on ₹13 paid over the past year and a CMP of around ₹184. The company announced both interim and final dividends in 2025, including a special dividend, reflecting stable earnings and consistent payouts.
Thyrocare Technologies recorded a dividend yield of nearly 7%. With dividends of ₹28 and a CMP of ₹429, the diagnostics company rewarded shareholders with both interim and final dividends in 2025, supported by good operational performance.
CESC offers a 6% dividend yield, backed by ₹10.5 paid in the past year and a CMP of ₹171. The company paid 2 interim dividends in 2025, continuing its long-standing dividend-paying history.
Honda India Power Products also delivered a 6% yield. With dividends of ₹131.5 over the last year and a share price of about ₹2,336, the company announced both special and final dividends in 2025, supported by strong earnings.
Small-cap dividend stocks like MSTC, PTC India and Castrol India offer attractive yields of over 6%, making them appealing for income-seeking investors. However, along with high yields, it is important to assess business stability, earnings quality and long-term sustainability before investing.
