An investor investing in US stocks from India not only benefits from stock or capital returns but also gets the benefit of dollar appreciation versus rupees.

Intel has paid a total of $5.2 in dividends per share in the last 5 years which translates into ₹413.33. So if you had 10 Intel shares you would have received ₹4,133.3 in dividends in India from your Intel stocks.

Intel used to declare dividends every quarter. However, ever since the company announced cost cutting measures in 2024, it has suspended dividends. The latest dividend amount Intel paid each shareholder was $0.375 or ₹31.5 per share in August 2024. For investors holding shares in fractions the same amount was paid in proportion to the units of shares they hold. For example, if an investor has less than 1 unit ~ 0.5 units, they will still receive $0.1875 or ₹15.75 in dividends.

Intel has a strong footprint in India given that it holds a 60–65% share of India’s PC CPU market, powering most consumer laptops and desktops. This means that nearly 2 out of every 3 laptops or desktops sold in India run on Intel chips, from college students to corporate offices. 

With around 14,000 employees, India is Intel’s largest R&D base outside the US, focused on AI, 5G, Mobileye, and data center tech. Intel has invested $8 billion+ in India, with major campuses in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The America-based company's CPUs also run a majority of India’s hyperscale cloud and enterprise data centers, making it a core digital infra player locally.

Globally, Intel spends around $15 billion annually on R&D, with India contributing significantly to next-gen CPU and AI development. Intel also supplies chips to 85% of the world’s top cloud service providers and maintains relationships with key players like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

Despite cutting 25,000+ jobs worldwide in 2025 to reduce costs, Intel retained India as an anchor of its engineering, innovation strategy. For Indian investors, Intel is a unique opportunity to invest in semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise AI, all at once.
