Additionally, TVS Motor Company and state-owned REC will remain in focus as they trade ex-dividend today. TVS Motor Company has announced an interim dividend of ₹10 per share for its shareholders, while REC has declared an interim dividend of ₹3.60 per share for its eligible shareholders.
The ex-dividend date and record date are two important trading sessions used to determine shareholders' eligibility for dividends. The ex-dividend date marks the day when a stock starts trading without entitlement to the dividend, meaning investors must own the stock before this date to be eligible for the dividend payout. The record date, however, is when companies finalise the list of eligible shareholders based on their records.
