In a market where volatility keeps investors on their toes, dividend paying stocks offer a comforting edge for many. And among large cap companies, a few stand out for delivering strong dividends year after year. From mining giants to oil and gas majors, here is a look at the top 5 dividend yield stocks in India that continue to reward their shareholders.

Vedanta: 12% dividend yield

Despite offering one of the highest dividend yields in the market, Vedanta’s stock has come under pressure. Over the past five trading sessions, the shares have slumped by nearly 18%, while in the past one month, they’re down 15%. On a six-month basis, the stock has tumbled 25%, although over the last one year, it has managed to post a 15% gain. However, year-to-date (YTD), Vedanta shares have seen a sharp decline of 16%.
