Indian stock markets are set for an action-packed week starting Monday, November 10, 2025, as more than thirty prominent companies prepare to trade ex-dividend. This significant corporate activity period will see major players across pharmaceuticals, energy, wealth management, and manufacturing sectors adjusting their stock prices to reflect upcoming dividend payments.
Weekly Ex-Dividend Calendar: Key Dates and Companies
The week begins with several blue-chip companies going ex-dividend on Monday, November 10. Ajanta Pharma Ltd, Godfrey Phillips India Ltd, and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd lead the pack alongside Aurionpro Solutions Ltd, Route Mobile Ltd, and Transcorp International Ltd.
Tuesday, November 11 brings an even larger group of companies to the ex-dividend list. Investors should note that Astral Ltd, Chalet Hotels Ltd, Chambal Fertilisers & Chemicals Ltd, and Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd will trade without dividend benefits from this date. They're joined by Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd, Saregama India Ltd, and several other mid-cap performers.
The corporate action continues through Wednesday with Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd, Kaveri Seed Company Ltd, and Symphony Ltd among the notable names. Thursday sees Amara Raja Energy & Mobility Ltd, Patanjali Foods Ltd, and Great Eastern Shipping Company Ltd transitioning to ex-dividend status.
The week concludes with a substantial Friday lineup featuring Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC), National Aluminium Company Ltd, and Bayer CropScience Ltd. This final batch includes multiple energy and technology companies completing the week's dividend-related adjustments.
Understanding Ex-Dividend Mechanics
When a company declares an ex-dividend date, it signifies that the stock will trade without the value of its next dividend payment. This corporate action ensures that only shareholders who owned the stock before this specific date receive the dividend payout. The price adjustment reflects the company's distribution of profits to eligible investors.
The record date remains crucial for dividend eligibility, as shareholders must be registered in the company's books 24 hours before this date to qualify for payments. This system maintains fairness in dividend distribution while allowing for normal trading activity to continue.
Additional Corporate Actions: Stock Splits and Bonus Issues
Beyond dividend activities, the market will witness other significant corporate actions. Websol Energy System Ltd implements a dramatic stock split, reducing face value from ₹10 to Re 1, while Sampre Nutritions Ltd executes both a stock split (from ₹10 to ₹5) and a bonus issue in a 1:1 ratio.
Stock splits enhance liquidity by increasing the number of outstanding shares while reducing individual share prices. Similarly, bonus issues reward existing shareholders with additional shares without requiring additional investment, effectively redistributing company reserves.
Several infrastructure investment trusts including POWERGRID Infrastructure Investment Trust and Indus Infra Trust will distribute income to unit holders throughout the week. Additionally, Infosys Ltd and GHCL Ltd commence share buyback programs, representing another form of shareholder returns.
For investors tracking these developments, understanding the implications of ex-dividend dates becomes essential for portfolio planning and investment timing. These corporate actions often signal company confidence and directly impact shareholder returns, making them critical markers in any investment strategy.
