The company is earning robust revenues and profits this year but poor distribution of dividend to its shareholders. It is to be mentioned that stock price of the company has trebled since the beginning of the current year. Let's see the dividend data of last year's. Maruti Suzuki paid a total dividend of Rs 101 crore that is less than 10 per cent of its net profit. On the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors use to distribute almost a third of their net profits in the form of dividends.
