Not Murthy, Not Nilekani: This Infosys Promoter to Receive Highest Dividend Payout of Rs 210 Crore; Infosys Declares Highest Final Dividend in a Decade

The highest dividend payout among Infosys promoters - approximately Rs 210 crore - is not going to Narayana Murthy’s family or Nandan Nilekani.

The internet is abuzz with news about Narayana Muthry’s 17-month-old grandson, Ekagrah Rohan Murthy. He is set to receive a whopping Rs 3.3 crore dividend from Infosys for the financial year ending March 2025.

On Thursday, Infosys announced its highest-ever final dividend since 2015 - Rs 22 per share. Ekagrah Rohan Murthy holds 15 lakh shares, which stands at 0.04 per cent stake in the company. Based on this holding, he is likely to receive Rs 3.3 crore from the dividend payout.

Interestingly, Rohan Murthy, son of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and father of Ekagrah, holds 6.08 crore shares. This translates to a 1.62 per cent stake in the company. He is the second-largest promoter and is set to receive a dividend of approximately Rs 133.79 crore - more than 40 times of what his son will receive.

The third-highest shareholder in the promoter group is Nandan M. Nilekani. He holds 4.07 crore shares, or a 1.09 per cent stake in Infosys. His estimated dividend payout stands at approximately Rs 89.72 crore.

However, not much is being said about the largest promoter shareholder- Sudha Gopalakrishnan. She is the wife of co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan. Sudha holds 9.53 crore shares, amounting to a 2.54 per cent stake in Infosys. She is set to receive approximately Rs 209.79 crore – the highest dividend payout among Infosys’ promoter shareholders.

The record date for the purpose of the Annual General Meeting and payment of final dividend is May 30, 2025. The dividend will be paid on June 30, 2025. At Rs 22 per share, this is Infosys’ highest final dividend in nearly a decade. The last time a higher dividend was announced was in 2015, at Rs 29.50 per share.  

Now, let’s talk about numbers. Infosys posted revenue of $19,277 million in FY25, marking a 4.2 per cent in constant currency. Operating margin stood at 21.1 per cent – an expansion of 0.5 per cent year-on-year. Free cash flow hit a record high of $4,088 million, up 41.8 per cent year-on-year.
