Market Guru said that he is expecting a good dividend this time around. A dividend to the tune of Rs 55- Rs 60 is what comes from the calculations, he said.  

The investors must know that the companies just don’t need to make the announcements. The also require cash in hand to hand out dividends. The cash for BPCL must come from two sources – one is from the sale of Numaligarh Refinery and other from stake sale in other companies.
