From BEL to DLF: 5 Companies That Declared Dividends Along With Q4 Results

As companies wrap up their financial year, several well-known Indian firms have not only posted solid earnings for the January–March 2025 quarter but also announced dividends — a way to share profits with their shareholders. Here’s a quick look at five companies that declared dividends along with their Q4 results and what that means for investors.

1. Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL)

BEL, a government-owned defense electronics company, had an impressive March quarter. It posted a 30% jump in profit, reaching ₹1,797 crore.

Alongside this strong performance, the company announced a final dividend of ₹0.80 per share, in addition to the ₹1.50 interim dividend it gave earlier in March. BEL is a regular dividend payer and this move further confirms the company’s stable financial footing.

2. Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL)

Power Grid, the central government’s power transmission giant, saw a slight dip in its Q4 profit, which came in at ₹4,143 crore — about 0.6% lower than last year.

Even so, the company kept up its tradition of rewarding shareholders. It declared a final dividend of ₹2.75 per share, on top of the ₹8.50 per share it already paid out during the year. Despite a flat quarter, Power Grid is still maintaining strong returns for investors.

3. DLF Limited

Real estate major DLF had a strong quarter with a 39% jump in net profit, which reached ₹1,282 crore. The strong results were driven by robust housing demand and steady project execution.

To share its success, the company announced a ₹6 per share dividend for its shareholders. This comes as a positive sign not just of profitability, but of confidence in the ongoing real estate momentum.

4. Hindustan Zinc

Hindustan Zinc, part of the Vedanta Group and a key player in the metals industry, had a solid Q4 with profits of ₹2,900 crore, up 12% from the same quarter last year.

The company announced a final dividend of ₹21 per share, taking the total dividend for the year to a whopping ₹30 per share (including ₹9 already paid out earlier). That’s a big thumbs-up to investors who have stayed put.

5. ITC Limited

ITC, the multi-business giant known for cigarettes, packaged foods, and hotels, posted a 15% rise in profit, reaching ₹4,500 crore in Q4.

To wrap up a strong year, ITC declared a ₹7 per share final dividend, in addition to the ₹5 already distributed earlier. This brings the total dividend for the year to ₹12 per share, which shows ITC’s commitment to rewarding its loyal investors.

What’s the Big Picture?

These dividend announcements show that many companies, despite market ups and downs, are doing well and are confident about the future. Declaring dividends is not just a financial decision — it’s a way for companies to say, “Thank you for staying invested in us.”

And for everyday investors, it’s a welcome reward — especially in uncertain times.
