Investment: These companies could make you rich in 2026; they pay hefty dividends..

Dividend-paying stocks have always been a top choice for investors seeking stable and regular income. Such companies typically have strong balance sheets, stable businesses, and consistent cash flows. These stocks are considered safe options even during market volatility. Three major companies – Coal India, NTPC, and Polycab India – are expected to pay higher dividends in 2026. The track record and financial health of these three companies inspire investor confidence.

Coal India's Consistent Dividend Growth
Coal India is the world's largest government-owned coal company and accounts for 80-85% of India's total production. The company has consistently increased its dividends over the past three years: ₹24.25 per share in FY23, ₹25.50 in FY24, and ₹26.50 in FY25. Although the company's revenue and profit declined in Q2 FY26, long-term fuel supply contracts and production expansion plans provide stability. The company is also expanding into new areas such as coal gasification, CBM, and renewable energy, which could improve future cash flows.

NTPC's Big Plans for Green Energy
NTPC is India's largest power generation company and has a strong dividend-paying history. The dividend increased from ₹7.25 per share in FY23 to ₹8.35 in FY25. In Q2 FY26, NTPC's revenue remained relatively stable, but net profit increased to ₹29,681 crore. The company is working towards adding 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and installing 60 GW of renewable energy by 2032. This transition could keep the company's earnings stable and strong in the future.

Polycab India: Rapid Growth and Increasing Dividends
Polycab, a giant in the wire and cable sector, has also consistently increased its dividends, from ₹20 per share in FY23 to ₹35 in FY25. In Q2 FY26, the company's revenue reached ₹64,772 crore and net profit increased by 55% to ₹6,930 crore. Polycab is targeting a 27% sales CAGR by 2030 and investing ₹80 billion to expand its capacity.
