Highest amount is not the same as highest yield.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">TCS paid the highest Tata Group dividend in FY26 at Rs 110 per share, followed by Tata Elxsi at Rs 75 and Tata Communications at Rs 17.50, while Tata Power paid Rs 2.50. TCS&#8217;s total includes three interim dividends of Rs 11 each, a special dividend of Rs 46 and a final dividend of Rs 31, and it is lower than the Rs 126 paid in FY25. The dividend per share does not show the return to the investor, because the yield depends on the share price, and the amounts for other Tata companies in this guide are final dividends only. Compare the dividend yield, the payout ratio and the growth in earnings before you rank one Tata stock above another.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Tata Group dividend season in FY26 ended with a wide gap between the companies. A report on nine Tata Group firms said TCS led with Rs 110 per share, Tata Elxsi followed at Rs 75, Tata Communications paid Rs 17.50 and Tata Power paid Rs 2.50. The headline asks which Tata stock paid the highest amount, and the answer on amount is clear.<\/p>\n<p>This guide compares the Tata Group dividend for FY26 company by company, breaks down how TCS reached Rs 110, explains why a high amount per share is not the same as a high return and lists the record dates and checks to run before you buy for the dividend. The report names nine firms but the sources I could verify cover twelve, so I list all twelve and mark where sources disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who tracks the Tata Group dividend should treat the per share amount as a starting point, and read it together with the share price, the payout and the profit trend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a

Without it, the TCS dividend in FY26 would be Rs 64 per share (my calculation: 110 minus 46). The FY26 total of Rs 110 is also lower than the Rs 126 paid in FY25, a fall of about 12.7% (my calculation).<\/p>\n<p>For FY27 TCS has already declared the first interim Tata Group dividend of Rs 12 per share with a record date of 15 July 2026. At a price of Rs 2,047.75 after the 9 July close, the FY26 total of Rs 110 gave a yield of 5.4%, which matches my calculation of about 5.4%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Risk:<\/strong> A yield that includes a special dividend overstates what the Tata Group dividend from TCS may pay in a normal year.

A Rs 75 payout on a stock priced at several thousand rupees yields less than a Rs 2.50 payout on a stock priced at a few hundred rupees can in some cases. One report puts the Tata Power yield at 0.59% and the Indian Hotels yield at 0.49%, both far below the industry average, and says Tata Power&#8217;s free cash flow is negative.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Measure<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">What it tells you<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Where it can mislead<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Dividend per share<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">The cash you receive for each share<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Ignores the price you paid<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Dividend yield<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Annual payout as a percentage of price<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rises when the price falls, and includes special payouts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Payout ratio<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Share of profit paid out<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">A high ratio may not last<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Earnings growth<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Capacity to raise the payout<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Cyclical profits can reverse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Another report says Tata Sons&#8217; dividend income from its core companies fell 10.3% in FY26, and that Tata Motors&#8217; margin dropped to 10.7% in Q4 FY26 from 14.8% a year earlier.
