Coal India, ONGC to BPCL — These 15 PSU stocks have highest dividend yields. Do you own any?
Additionally, most of the high-paying dividend stocks from the PSU space are also low-priced, and less than ₹ 500, barring one.
Dividend yield shows the percentage of a company's share price that is paid out to shareholders yearly in the form of dividends. It is a crucial metric for those investors who are income-focused, as it is an indicator of how much cash flow they can likely generate from their investment.
A higher dividend yield suggests more income for investors. But it is not an indicator of the company's financial health and stability. A dividend yield of 5% or more is considered to be good.
According to a study by Axis Securities, the highest dividend-paying PSU stocks have a yield of 3% or above. Most of the stocks on the list belong to the oil and gas, metals or financials sectors.
Chennai Petroleum Corporation tops the list with a 12-month dividend yield of 7%. The PSU stock has paid ₹ 55 as a dividend.
It is followed by Maharatna PSU stock Coal India, which also has a dividend yield of 7%, following a ₹ 26.4 per share payout over the last year. The metal and mining company is part of the Nifty 50 index and commands a market capitalisation of over ₹ 2 lakh crore.
PSU stocks Union Bank of India, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and NMDC are next on the list, offering a dividend yield of 6% each following a payout of ₹ 8.4, ₹ 13.5 and ₹ 3.8 per share, respectively.
National Aluminium Corporation (NALCO) followed suit with a 5% dividend yield ( ₹ 10 dividend in the last 12 months).
Another oil PSU stock, BPCL, is also on the list as the PSU stock paid a dividend of ₹ 15.5, resulting in a dividend yield of 4%. Power Finance Corporation, RITES, Balmer Lawrie, REC, Power Grid and Gail (India) also have dividend yields of 4%.
Last on the list are Bank of India and Canara Bank, offering a dividend yield of 3%.

Nifty50, BSE Sensex show resilience: Why stock markets are not taking Donald Trump's tariff threats too seriously
The market sentiment improved after the announcement that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet. (AI image) US President Donald Trump's move to impose 50% tariffs on India doesn't seem to have worried the Indian stock markets too much. In fact, BSE Sensex and Nifty50 have shown resilience in the face of the Trump tariff threat. Trump announced the 25% tariff on India on July 30 evening (India time). An additional 25% tariff for India's Russian oil purchases was announced a few days after that. Should these new tariffs be enacted, certain Indian products could face duties of up to 50%, effectively halting US imports from India, which reached approximately $87 billion in 2024. From the July 30 closing figure of 24855.05 to today's closing of 24,585.05, Nifty50 is down just 1.08%. The BSE Sensex surged 746 points to finish above 80,000 on Monday, driven by strong performance in oil, auto and banking sectors, supported by fresh foreign fund inflows. The NSE Nifty 50 increased by 221.75 points or 0.91 per cent to 24,585.05. Trump's tariff threat & oil market reaction According to a column in Reuters by Clyde Russell, the oil market's subdued response to US warnings directed at India regarding its Russian oil purchases suggests a widespread belief that substantial actions are unlikely to materialise. Also Read | 'China issue more complicated…': After tariff on India, will Donald Trump impose additional duties on China for Russia oil trade? What JD Vance said The implementation of additional Indian tariffs remains uncertain, but with minimal prospects for peace in Ukraine, India's most straightforward option to avoid these tariffs would be to cease Russian oil purchases, the Reuters column says. However, current crude oil prices do not reflect this potential outcome, it adds. Trump's current proposal differs from previous approaches. His strategy aims to exclude Russian oil from the market to compel Moscow into negotiations regarding Ukraine through financial constraints. Currently, Russian crude oil has two primary purchasers: India and China. China, being the largest crude oil importer globally, maintains a stronger position against Trump due to Western dependence on its refined critical minerals and other resources, making it difficult to pressure them into stopping Russian oil purchases. According to data from commodity analysts Kpler, India's Russian crude imports reached approximately 1.8 million barrels per day during the first half of the year, constituting about 37% of its total imports.

Explained Currently, the crude oil market anticipates the Trump/India/Russia situation will conclude as another "TACO", the acronym for "Trump Always Chickens Out", says Clyde Russell. Nevertheless, the outcome is likely to be more complex, with some Indian refiners reducing Russian imports, potential increased purchases by Chinese refiners, whilst the oil market continues to navigate geopolitical complexities. Why is stock market not reacting too much? According to Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd, the market sentiment improved after the announcement that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss the Russia–Ukraine conflict, aiming to ease geopolitical tensions. The mood was further lifted by strong domestic mutual fund inflows, which surged to ₹9,426 crore in July — the highest since December 2024 — along with value buying driven by attractive valuations and a favorable risk-reward outlook. Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited says, 'The market saw a relief rally post a 3-month low; a positive global cue and a gradual return of FIIs supported the sentiment. The PSU banks took the limelight amidst Q1 results from the banking major, while a broad-based momentum was visible across all sectors.' 'Investors are positively assessing the upcoming US-Russia Summit this week, which may possibly give way to a de-escalation in geopolitical tensions. While a near-term caution may still prevail, the more definite assessment of the US trade and growth impact is yet to be assessed fully,' he added.

Market correction brings record high equity MF inflows in July; up 81% from June
Net inflows into equity mutual funds surged sharply in July, driven by a gush of money into new fund offers (NFOs) and a market correction, which prompted investors to step up allocations. According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds of India (Amfi), net equity inflows hit a record high of ₹ 42,672 crore in July, up 81% month-on-month. Of this, equity NFOs accounted for about ₹ 9,000 crore and continuing SIPs contributed roughly ₹ 25,000 crore, while fresh inflows into existing schemes were around ₹ 8000 crore, said Viraj Gandhi, chief executive officer (CEO) of SAMCO Mutual Fund. He said nearly ₹ 7,400 crore of the ₹ 9,000 crore inflows into NFOs went into thematic funds. 'Large Asset Management Companies (AMCs) already have most traditional categories covered, so their new launches will tend to be thematic, explaining the surge in investor interest,' Gandhi added. The Nifty 50 index fell 2.93% in July, while Sensex fell 2.9%. The Nifty Smallcap index and Nifty Midcap index fell 3.9% and 3.6%, respectively. 'The market has not done much in the last one month and yet we are seeing record inflows, which means investors are looking ahead and building positions for the next move,' said Gandhi. 'When uncertainties are less, confidence starts to move up, with investors looking at the longer term to take advantage of a correction,' said Akhil Chaturvedi, executive director and chief business officer at Motilal Oswal Asset Management Co. Within equity schemes, sectoral and thematic funds saw the highest net inflows of ₹ 9,426 crore in July. This was followed by flexicap funds that saw inflows of ₹ 7,654 crore. Net inflows into thematic funds were the highest since December last year, when it was at ₹ 15,332 crore. Inflows into smallcap funds rose 61% sequentially to ₹ 6,864 crore in July, while net inflows into midcap funds increased 38% to ₹ 5,182 crore. Inflows into smallcap and midcap mutual funds is likely to continue, said Juzer Gabajiwala, director at Ventura. 'Over the past five years, the market capitalization of smallcap companies has risen significantly and Indian investors, now more informed, have noticed that smallcaps and midcaps have fallen more sharply than largecaps, and this correction has brought valuations closer to reasonable levels, prompting more investors to bet on them,' he added. India's total systematic investment plan (SIP) contributions increased to a record ₹ 28,464 crore in July, witnessing a 2.5% increase sequentially. The number of new SIP accounts opened during July were 6.8 million and the matured accounts during the month were at 4.3 million, as per Amfi data. The total number of SIP accounts were at 94.4 million, indicating a net growth of 2.5 million SIPs during July, said Venkat Chalasani, CEO of Amfi. Flows into equity mutual funds will hinge on market movements, said Chirag Mehta, chief investment officer (CIO) at Quantum Mutual Fund. 'With markets remaining largely range-bound for a year, volatility and economic uncertainty could weigh on sentiment, but continued gains may keep inflows steady,' Mehta said. 'When uncertainties are less, confidence starts to move up, with investors looking at the longer term to take advantage of a correction,' said Akhil Chaturvedi, executive director and chief business officer at Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company.
