Wipro dividend

Wipro has taken a slightly different approach. Instead of announcing a separate final dividend, the company confirmed that its total interim dividend for the year would be treated as the final payout.

The company declared a total dividend of Rs 11 per share for FY26, which it considers as its final payout.

“During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company paid an interim dividend of Rs 11 per equity share (Rs 5 declared on July 17, 2025, and Rs 6 declared on January 16, 2026),” the company said in its filing.

Alongside dividends, Wipro also announced a share buyback worth Rs 15,000 crore, which is another way of returning money to shareholders.
