Several listed companies have set January 28, 2026, as the record date for their interim dividends. Investors holding shares of these companies in their demat accounts by the record date will be eligible to receive the announced dividends. With the ex-dividend date also falling on January 28, market participants should be mindful of timelines while planning trades.
The record date is the cut-off date set by a company to determine which shareholders are eligible for a dividend. The ex-dividend date is usually one trading day before or the same as the record date. Investors who buy shares on or after the ex-date are not eligible for the dividend, while those who purchase before it qualify.
On January 28, 2026, four companies will go ex-dividend and finalise their shareholder list for interim dividend payouts. These include firms from diverse sectors such as cables, renewable energy, and industrial machinery. The dividends range from modest payouts to relatively higher cash rewards, depending on the company’s profitability and payout policy.
Below is a summary of companies with dividends whose record date is January 28, 2026:
