💰 Dividend Coming Your Way?
Ramco Cements hasn’t yet declared the final dividend amount, but here’s what history tells us:
| Financial Year | Dividend per Share | Dividend Yield (approx) |
|---|---|---|
| FY24 | ₹6 | ~0.6% |
| FY23 | ₹5 | ~0.5% |
| FY22 | ₹5 | ~0.5% |
So unless management suddenly turns into Santa Claus, expect something between ₹5–₹7 again this year.
🧠 Pro Tip: Buy before the record date (6 Aug) and you’re in. Sell right after the ex-date if you’re playing the dividend trade.

Ramco isn’t your breakout 10-bagger, but it’s a solid compounder for those playing the India infra theme. Especially if:
✅ You like dividends
✅ You want exposure to cement without Ultratech’s monopoly hangover
✅ You trust South Indian corporate governance more than Delhi–Noida drama
🤓 CMP ₹1,006 and slowly climbing the ladder.
Would we bet our house on it? No. But would we build a house with it? Hell yes.
