As the earnings season rolls out, India’s top IT companies are not just announcing their financial results, deal wins but also the dividend payout for shareholders. With Q4FY25 results in, major players like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and HCL Technologies declared or confirmed their dividends for the financial year. But who emerged as the most generous tech giant for shareholders in FY25?
Let’s break down the dividend details and track how these stocks have moved in the market during the year.
Infosys dividend
Infosys surprised investors by declaring a final dividend of Rs 22 per share, its highest in nearly a decade. This took its total dividend payout for FY25 to Rs 43 per share, including the interim dividend of Rs 21 announced earlier. Over the last 12 months, Infosys has paid a cumulative dividend of Rs 49 per share. The record date for the final dividend is May 30, with the payout scheduled for June 30, 2025.
Infosys share price is on a bumpy ride. While they rose 4% in the last five days, they’re down 7% over the past month and have slipped 21% in the last six months. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the stock is down 22%, though it managed a 2% gain over the past year.
Wipro dividend
Wipro chose to keep it simple this year. It did not announce any new dividend in Q4FY25 but confirmed that the Rs 6 interim dividend announced in January 2025 would serve as the final dividend for FY25. While it is a decent bump from earlier years where the payout often hovered around Rs 1 per share, it is still modest compared to peers.

Earlier, it paid Rs 76 per share in January 2025, which included a Rs 66 special dividend and Rs 10 interim dividend. The company had also paid Rs 10 interim dividends in both July and October 2024, bringing its total to a whopping Rs 126 per share for FY25.
Share price of TCS is up around 3% today and gained 4% over the last five days. However, the stock fell 6% in the past month, dropped 17% YTD, and is down 12% over the last year.
HCL Technologies dividend
HCL Tech announced a fresh interim dividend of Rs 18 per share in April 2025, payable by May 6. This came after an earlier Rs 12 interim dividend and a Rs 6 special dividend in January, taking its total dividend for the year to Rs 60 per share. The company has maintained a consistent payout trend, with 90 dividends declared since 2003.
HCL Tech saw an 8% rally today following its results. Over the past five days, the share price of HCL Technologies surged 12%. However, it’s still down 13% over six months and 16% YTD. On a one-year basis, though, the stock has delivered a 7% return.
