Looking for some big dividend yields for your income portfolio? If you are, then you may want to check out the ASX dividend shares listed below.

That's because they have been named as buys and tipped to provide income investors with yields of 6%+ and plenty of upside. Here's what you need to know about them:

APA Group (ASX: APA)

APA Group is being tipped to provide investors with big yields in the near term. It is an energy infrastructure business that owns and operates a world class portfolio of gas, electricity, solar and wind assets.

Macquarie believes the company's long run of dividend increases (almost two decades) can continue for the foreseeable future. It is forecasting dividends of 57 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 57.5 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current APA Group share price of $7.10, this equates to 8% and 8.1% yields, respectively.

Macquarie has an outperform rating and $8.23 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 16% for investors.

Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)

Bell Potter thinks that ASX dividend share Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT could offer big yields in the near term. It is a health and wellness property company with a portfolio filled with hospitals, aged care facilities, and primary care assets.

The broker believes the company is well-placed to reward shareholders with dividends of 8.4 cents per share in FY 2025 and then 8.7 cents per share in FY 2026. Based on the current Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT unit price of $1.16, this will mean dividend yields of 7.25% and 7.5%, respectively.

Bell Potter currently has a buy rating and $1.50 price target on its shares. This suggests that its shares could rise almost 30% from current levels.

Inghams Group Ltd (ASX: ING)

A third ASX dividend share that could offer big dividend yields in the near term is Inghams. It is Australia's leading poultry producer and supplier.

Morgans thinks that its shares are undervalued given its strong market position. It expects the latter to support the payment of fully franked dividends of 19 cents per share in both FY 2025 and FY 2026. Based on the current Inghams share price of $2.84, this equates to generous dividend yields of 6.7% for both years.

The broker currently has a buy rating and $3.66 price target. This implies potential upside of 29% for investors.
