Dividend Yield: 5.7%

Bharat Petroleum's dividend yield of 5.72% places it in the top 25% of Indian dividend payers, supported by a low payout ratio (33.3%) and cash payout ratio (34.6%), indicating strong coverage by earnings and cash flows. Despite this, its dividends have been volatile over the past decade, raising concerns about reliability. Recent strategic moves into renewable energy and green hydrogen through joint ventures may bolster future earnings stability amidst expected short-term profit declines.
