TCS Announces ₹30 Final Dividend for FY25
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, has announced a final dividend of ₹30 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2025. This declaration was made on April 10, 2025, alongside the company’s financial results for the fourth quarter of FY25. According to the exchange filing, the dividend will be paid five days after the conclusion of the 30th Annual General Meeting, pending shareholder approval.
This final dividend adds to the company’s already generous payouts throughout the year, taking the total dividend for FY25 to ₹45,612 crore. This marks a significant 72.6% jump compared to the ₹26,426 crore paid in FY24. With this announcement, TCS has exceeded its FY24 dividend per share (DPS) of ₹73, offering strong returns to its shareholders despite a challenging business environment.
Dividend History and Yield in FY25
TCS’s dividend payouts in FY25 included a mix of interim and special dividends. In January 2025, the company issued an interim dividend of ₹10 per share along with a substantial special dividend of ₹66 per share. Previous interim dividends of ₹10 each were distributed in October and July 2024. The company had also paid a final dividend of ₹28 per share in May 2024. These consistent and sizable payouts reflect TCS’s strong commitment to rewarding its shareholders.
Despite the company not yet announcing the record date and payment date for the ₹30 final dividend, investors have been closely monitoring the development. At the current market price, TCS offers a dividend yield of 1.79%, making it an attractive choice for income-focused investors amid market volatility.
FY25 Q4 Results Reflect Challenging Market Conditions
In its Q4FY25 results, Tata Consultancy Services reported a 1.7% year-on-year decline in net profit to ₹12,224 crore, down from ₹12,434 crore in the same quarter last year. This figure fell short of Bloomberg analysts’ expectations of ₹12,766 crore. The dip in profit is attributed to increasing global uncertainty, delays in project approvals, and slower decision-making processes.
However, revenue for the quarter rose by 5.2% year-on-year, reaching ₹64,479 crore. On a sequential basis, revenue showed a modest growth of 0.79%. K Krithivasan, Managing Director and CEO of TCS, commented, “We had spoken about improving market sentiments and early signs of revival in discretionary spends in January, but this was not sustained due to discussions around tariffs.” He added that ongoing delays in investment decisions and project ramp-ups continue to impact the business.
Ahead of the earnings release, Tata Consultancy Services shares closed at ₹3,246.10 on the BSE, down 1.44% from the previous day’s close. Despite the subdued earnings, the company’s robust dividend policy continues to reassure investors and underscores TCS’s financial resilience amid global economic headwinds.
