SAIL, Indraprastha Gas, Saraswati Saree Depot Set to Trade Ex‑Dividend This Week

Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Indraprastha Gas and Saraswati Saree Depot are among the key stocks that will trade ex‑dividend in the upcoming week starting Monday, September 28, 2026. The ex‑dividend dates are set by the record dates, and the share price will adjust by the exact dividend issue price on those dates. Equity market investors are expected to monitor these corporate actions closely, as the elevated interest may influence the stock prices of the companies involved. The week also features other dividend issuers such as Leo Dryfruits & Spices Trading, Goenka Business & Finance, R Systems International, and Sainik Finance & Industries.

According to the BSE website, the dividend stocks for the week are listed as follows: Leo Dryfruits & Spices Trading will trade ex‑dividend on Tuesday, September 29, with a dividend of ₹0.5 per share; Steel Authority of India (SAIL) will trade ex‑dividend on Wednesday, September 30, issuing ₹2.35 per share; Saraswati Saree Depot will also trade ex‑dividend on Wednesday, September 30, paying ₹3 per share; Goenka Business & Finance will trade ex‑dividend on Thursday, October 1, with a dividend of ₹0.5 per share; Indraprastha Gas will trade ex‑dividend on Thursday, October 1, issuing ₹1.5 per share; R Systems International will trade ex‑dividend on Thursday, October 1, paying ₹8 per share; and Sainik Finance & Industries will trade ex‑dividend on Thursday, October 1, issuing ₹0.5 per share.

Aastha Spintex, a textile manufacturer, has announced a 1:1 bonus issue for its shareholders. The stock is scheduled to trade ex‑bonus on Monday, September 28, according to BSE data. Shareholders will be eligible for the bonus issue up to one day ahead of the predetermined record date, meaning they can participate until the previous Friday’s trading session. Maestros Electronics & Telecommunications Systems has also declared a 1:1 bonus issue, with its stock set to trade ex‑bonus on Thursday, October 1. Shareholders there will be eligible for the bonus one day before the record date, i.e., until Wednesday’s market session in the week starting September 28.

Other corporate actions slated for the week include a rights issue of equity shares by Natco Pharma on Thursday, October 1, 2026. K M Sugar Mills will conduct a spin‑off of shares on the same day, while Rajeswari Infrastructure is set to focus investor attention on its resolution plan scheduled for Thursday, October 1, 2026. These actions are expected to attract market scrutiny and may influence trading volumes for the respective stocks during the week.

The week’s corporate actions are likely to generate heightened trading activity across the affected stocks, as investors adjust positions around ex‑dividend and ex‑bonus dates. The dividend payouts, ranging from ₹0.5 to ₹8 per share, will directly impact share prices on the respective record dates, while bonus issues will alter the share count without affecting the market capitalisation. Rights issues and spin‑offs, such as those by Natco Pharma, K M Sugar Mills, and Rajeswari Infrastructure, may lead to new capital structures and influence investor sentiment. Market participants should monitor the BSE announcements closely to time their trades accordingly.
