The Government of India is the majority shareholder in most of these PSU companies. As a result, the PSU company faces a structural compulsion to pay out a significant portion of profits as dividends to meet the government's own fiscal targets.

The Ministry of Finance sets dividend collection targets for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) every fiscal year to boost its non-tax revenue. During the Union budget, the government pegged CPSE dividend receipts at ₹71,000 crore for FY26, which exceeded the budget target by 10.5% to ₹78,438 crore, led by coal and power sectors.

So far in Q4FY26, many PSU companies have announced final dividends along with earnings. Many of these PSUs have also delivered robust double-digit stock returns so far in 2026, along with a dividend yield of between 3% and 5%.
