Investment Scenario
Let’s go back to 2015. Imagine an investor who invested ₹100,000.00 in Oil & Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC) company stock and held it steadily for 10 years . Instead of chasing short-term gains, the investor chose a long-term approach—holding the shares and reinvesting all dividends at the end of each year to purchase additional ONGC stock. This strategy, known as dividend reinvestment, allowed the investment to compound over time, not just through stock price appreciation but also through growing dividend payouts.
At the end of 2025, the ₹100,000.00 investment in NSE:ONGC would be worth approximately ₹261,591.00 due to stock splits and dividends that have been reinvested, which demonstrates a total Gain of 161,591.00 and a return on investment (ROI) of 161.59%, as well as an annualized compounded growth rate (CAGR) of around 10.09%. This illustrates the advantages of long-term investing, adhered to a disciplined reinvestment plan, and also illustrates how an initially small investment into a strong, fundamentally sound company (and move good company like Oil & Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC)) can create considerable wealth over the long run.
