Frequently Asked Questions
Which Indian stocks have paid consistently high dividends for 10+ years?
Most consistent long-term dividend payers: (1) Coal India — government mandate requires 40% of profit as dividend, has paid 6-8% yield consistently, (2) ONGC — dividend policy mandates significant payout, (3) Power Grid, NTPC — regulated utility with stable cash flows and high payout ratio, (4) ITC — diversified company with cigarette business generating strong cash, increasing dividend every year, (5) Infosys — private sector dividend compounder, raised dividend 10-15% annually for 10+ years. All five have 10+ year unbroken dividend payment track records.
Are Indian REITs better than dividend stocks for income?
REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) are mandated to distribute 90%+ of net distributable income, making them structurally higher-yielding than most equity dividend stocks. Current REIT yields: Embassy (5.5-6.5%), Mindspace (5-6%), Nexus (5-6%), Brookfield (6-7%). Advantages over dividend stocks: legally mandated high payout, quarterly distributions, commercial office rents linked to inflation (escalation clauses). Disadvantages: lower capital appreciation potential vs growth stocks, sensitive to interest rates (higher rates = lower REIT valuations), limited diversity (only office/retail/industrial). Best allocation: mix both for income + growth.
