According to BSE reports, several prominent companies are scheduled to trade ex-dividend during the week starting September 14, 2026. Key companies include PG Electroplast, Blue Dart Express, Hindustan Copper, Bharat Rasayan, Cochin Shipyard, and Relaxo Footwears. As per India's T+1 settlement cycle, shares purchased on the record date itself will not qualify for the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date, which falls before the record date, marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout.
The ex-dividend trading schedule spans four consecutive days from September 14-18, 2026. According to BSE data, Tuesday, September 15, 2026 sees the largest number of companies trading ex-dividend, with 61 companies including Aarti Pharmalabs, Agi Greenpac, AksharChem India, and Blue Dart Express. Wednesday, September 16, 2026 features 63 companies such as 63 Moons Technologies, Hindustan Copper, and VST Tillers Tractors. Thursday, September 17, 2026 includes 46 companies including Bharat Rasayan, Cochin Shipyard, and Relaxo Footwears. Friday, September 18, 2026 concludes with 34 companies including PG Electroplast, Morepen Laboratories, and Reliance Chemotex Industries.
Over 200 companies have fixed record dates for dividends and stock splits this week, with over 90 companies setting September 18 as their record date. According to The Economic Times, Victoria Mills leads with a ₹50 per share dividend, followed by Sharda Motor Industries at ₹20. V.S.T. Tillers Tractors accounts for the highest dividend payout among Wednesday record date companies at ₹25 per share. The list also includes several companies announcing dividends, while Oriana Power and Kairosoft Ai Solutions have set record dates for stock splits from ₹10 to ₹2 and ₹10 to Re 1 respectively.

Investors must take note of the record date, which determines shareholder eligibility for dividends. As reported by BSE, the ex-dividend date is crucial as it marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout. This means investors purchasing shares on or after the ex-dividend date will not receive the dividend payment, while those holding shares before the ex-dividend date remain eligible for the dividend distribution. The list remains tentative, as more companies may announce record dates for dividends, bonus issues and stock splits during the week.
