Dividend Record Date Set for 36 Indian Companies
Many Indian companies are preparing to pay dividends to eligible shareholders.
A dividend is money a company gives to people who own its shares.
These companies chose September 16, 2026, as the date used to identify eligible shareholders.
Because stock trades in India generally settle one business day later, the article says Tuesday is the last buying day for eligibility.
VST Tillers Tractors announced the largest dividend in the list, at ₹25 per share.
Several other companies also announced dividends, but their amounts are different.
The list includes Hindustan Copper, Bajaj Steel Industries and Vinati Organics.
The article also says the stock market could be volatile.
An analyst said the Nifty 50 could move toward 23,650 if it stays above 23,500.
Shares of nearly 36 companies have September 16, 2026, as the dividend record date.
Under India’s T+1 settlement cycle, Tuesday is described as the last day to buy the shares for dividend eligibility.
VST Tillers Tractors announced the highest dividend listed, at ₹25 per share.
Other notable dividends include ₹12.50 from Bannari Amman Sugars, ₹12 from Garware HiTech Films and ₹10 from Indo Tech Transformers.
The Nifty 50 may remain volatile, with strength above 23,500 potentially supporting a move toward 23,650, according to Bajaj Broking’s Pabitro Mukherjee.
