Top 10 companies of Nifty 500 with highest dividend payouts for FY25
Tata Consultancy Services
(TCS) topped the charts based on the absolute dividend payment as well as the equity dividend percentage, which is calculated as dividend per share relative to its face value. The total dividend payout of the country's largest software exporter rose by 72.6% year-on-year to ₹45,612 crore, helped by a special dividend of ₹66 per share declared in January 2025. Its equity dividend percentage in FY25 was 12,600%, implying a dividend of ₹126 per share of a face value of ₹1. In FY24, TCS had paid a dividend of ₹73 per share or ₹26,426 crore at the absolute level.
The absolute dividend amount alone would not be able to reflect the extent of dividend that investors receive per share. Therefore, equity dividend percentage comes into picture. In addition, the payout ratio, another parameter, indicates how much profit was distributed among shareholders as dividends. For TCS, the ratio was 93.9% based on FY25 net profit of ₹48,553 crore. It was significantly higher than the previous year's payout ratio of 58% suggesting that the company decided to distribute most of its profit in FY25 among shareholders at a time when capital investment opportunities look less attractive amid

After laying off 12000, Noel Tata's TCS gives good news to employees, to roll-out salary hikes for 80% of…, effective…
India's largest IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has been in the news in recent days. The company recently announced the layoff of 12,000 employees, which made it part of discussions. However, a recent decision by the company can boost employee morale. TCS revealed that it will be increasing the salaries of 80% of its workforce. TCS Salary Hike India's largest IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) informed employees that it will roll-out wage hikes for about 80 per cent of workforce, covering mid to junior levels. The wage hikes will be effective September 1, TCS CHRO Milind Lakkad and CHRO Designate K Sudeep said in an email to employees on Wednesday. 'We are pleased to announce a compensation revision for all eligible associates in grades upto C3A and equivalent, covering 80 per cent of our workforce. This will be effective 1st September 2025,' says the email seen by PTI. The email goes on to say: 'We would like to thank each one of you for your dedication and hard work, as we build the future of TCS together.' The extent of wage hikes could not be immediately ascertained. When reached for comment, the company in a statement said: 'We can confirm that we will be issuing wage hikes to around 80 per cent of our employees effective 1st September 2025.' TCS To Layoff 12000 Employees The move to reward and retain talent comes at a time when TCS has decided to lay off over 12,000 employees as part of what it describes as a broader strategy to become a 'future-ready organisation'. This entails focus on investments in technology, AI deployment, market expansion, and workforce realignment, according to the company. 'TCS is on a journey to become a future-ready organisation. This includes strategic initiatives on multiple fronts, including investing in new-tech areas, entering new markets, deploying AI at scale for our clients and ourselves, deepening our partnerships, creating next-gen infrastructure, and realigning our workforce model,' the company had said last month as the news of layoffs shook the IT industry. 'Towards this, a number of reskilling and redeployment initiatives have been underway. As part of this journey, we will also be releasing associates from the organisation whose deployment may not be feasible. This will impact about 2 per cent of our global workforce, primarily in the middle and the senior grades, over the course of the year,' TCS had then said. The layoffs at TCS have, in fact, ignited larger conversations on whether or not the IT industry itself may be headed for a major reset, amid turbulence from global macro uncertainties, impact of US' crushing tariffs on overall outsourcing sentiments, and the AI-led disruptions. As it is, India's top IT services companies have delivered single-digit revenue growth in Q1 FY26, capping off a somewhat-sobering June quarter as macroeconomic instability and geopolitical tensions have weighed on global tech demand and delayed client decision-making.
