- FY17: ₹10.00 per share
- FY18: ₹9.50 per share
- FY19: ₹9.50 per share
- FY20: ₹9.50 per share (interim)
- FY21: ₹9.50 per share
- FY22: ₹15.00 per share
- FY23: ₹40.00 per share
- FY24: ₹51.00 per share
- FY25: ₹51.00 per share
- FY26: ₹60.00 per share
The most significant acceleration occurred between FY22 and FY23, when the payout jumped 166.7% from ₹15 to ₹40, reflecting the company's stronger earnings capacity in the cables and conductors segment. FY24 and FY25 held the dividend flat at ₹51, before the current 17.6% increase in FY26 signals renewed momentum in cash generation.
Company Background
Apar Industries is a diversified manufacturer operating across three primary segments: power and telecom cables, specialty oils and lubricants, and conductors used in power transmission infrastructure. The company is a significant supplier to state electricity boards and private power developers across India and exports to multiple international markets. Its conductors division, in particular, has benefited from the sustained push in domestic power transmission capacity addition under government infrastructure programmes.
What This Means for Investors
Since live price data is currently unavailable for APARINDS, a precise dividend yield calculation cannot be provided. Investors should compute yield by dividing ₹60 by the prevailing market price at the time of investment. For reference, at the 52-week high, the yield would be at the lower end of the range, while at the 52-week low, it would represent a more meaningful income return. Investors tracking dividend consistency should note that Apar Industries has paid a dividend in every financial year covered in the available history, establishing a record of uninterrupted distributions across varying market cycles.
The 17.6% increase in the FY26 dividend, combined with the long-term compounding of payouts, positions the company among the more active dividend growers in the Indian electrical equipment and capital goods space. Investors focused on dividend income within the infrastructure supply chain segment will find the consistent upward revision in payouts a notable data point when assessing the stock.
