The Indian government's dividend collections from public sector enterprises and minority stake entities are projected to exceed budget estimates for the fifth consecutive year in fiscal 2025-26, potentially reaching a new high. Despite this, the Centre may maintain its initial projection of Rs 69,000 crore due to economic uncertainties. Dividend inflows have consistently surpassed targets, helping offset lower disinvestment revenues. In the current fiscal, Rs 44,862 crore has already been collected, with more expected in the March quarter.
