ONGC Dividend 2026: Today Is the Last Day To Buy Shares For ₹8 Payout; Check Record Date, Dividend History, Yield And Returns

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) shareholders looking to receive the company's ₹8 interim dividend have one final trading session to buy the stock. Wednesday, 11 November, is the last day to purchase shares for the payout.

The state-owned oil and gas company announced the dividend on 5 November, when it also released its Q2 FY27 results. The ₹8 payment is 160% of the face value of ₹5 per share. ONGC has put the total dividend outgo at ₹10,064 crore, its highest-ever payout in a single instalment.

ONGC Dividend 2026: Record Date, Last Date To Buy And Payout

The company has fixed 12 November 2026 as the record date. Under the T+1 settlement system followed by Indian stock exchanges, shares bought on 11 November will settle in time for investors to qualify for the dividend.

In other words, investors buying ONGC shares on 12 November will miss this payout. The stock will trade ex-dividend on that date.

ONGC has said it will pay the dividend within 30 days of the declaration. It has not announced a separate payment date so far.

ONGC Dividend History: Payouts In FY26 And FY25

The ₹8 interim dividend comes after two years of regular payouts by ONGC.

In FY26, the company paid ₹6 per share as its first interim dividend and ₹6.25 as the second. It followed these payments with a final dividend of ₹1 per share. Shareholders received a total of ₹13.25 per share during the year.

The FY25 payout was ₹12.25 per share. That included two interim dividends of ₹6 and ₹5, along with a final dividend of ₹1.25.

The latest ₹8 announcement is a single interim payment. ONGC's total dividend for FY27 will depend on any further payouts declared during the year.

ONGC Dividend Yield

ONGC's ₹8 interim dividend offers a yield of around 3.4% at the current share price of ₹233.50. The company's trailing 12-month dividend yield is higher at approximately 5.67%, as it includes earlier payouts as well. The yield will change with the share price and future dividend payments.

ONGC Share Price Performance

ONGC shares slipped 0.64% in the latest trading session, but the stock has recovered over the past few weeks. It gained 5.18% in one week and 5.53% over the previous month.

The recent gains have come despite the small decline in the latest session. Investors buying the stock only for the dividend should also account for the ex-dividend price adjustment.
