NTPC Ltd (NSE: NTPC) declared a ₹3,393.83 crore final dividend for FY25‑26, representing 35% of its paid‑up equity capital.
This final payout sits alongside two interim dividends of ₹2,666.58 crore each, bringing total cash distributions to ₹8,727.99 crore for the fiscal year.
The 35% payout signals a bullish stance on the company’s cash‑flow resilience, especially in a sector still grappling with regulatory shifts.

Analysts anticipate the next earnings release, slated for Q2, to shed light on whether the dividend policy will be maintained or adjusted.
