In the previous trading session, benchmark indices moved within a limited range as investors assessed mixed global signals alongside domestic corporate updates and policy developments.

Market participation remained stock specific, with traders closely tracking company disclosures, capital allocation decisions and regulatory developments that may influence near-term sentiment.

Several companies are expected to draw market attention today amid dividend declarations, corporate restructuring initiatives and regulatory inspections across sectors.

SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd

SBI Life Insurance announced an interim dividend of ₹2.70 per equity share, representing 27% for FY26. Shareholders whose names appear on the record date of March 6, 2026, will be eligible to receive the payout, which is scheduled to be credited or dispatched on or before March 27, 2026. 

Reliance Industries Ltd

Reliance Industries stated that Reliance Enterprise Intelligence Ltd has become its step-down subsidiary following the allotment of 85.32 crore equity shares. Of the total allotment, 70% was issued to Reliance Intelligence Ltd, while the remaining 30% was subscribed by Facebook Overseas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., reflecting continued expansion within the group’s digital ecosystem.

Lupin Ltd

Lupin disclosed that the Maharashtra GST Department has initiated an inspection and search operation at one of its offices. The company clarified that it is fully cooperating with authorities and that the ongoing proceedings relate to GST payment records and input tax credit documentation. According to the company, the inspection does not have any impact on its financial position or business operations.

Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC)

Indian Railway Finance Corporation said the government has decided not to exercise the oversubscription, or green shoe, option in the ongoing Offer for Sale (OFS). The development concludes the additional share sale possibility that had been available under the offering structure.

Tata Capital Ltd

Tata Capital announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Tata Capital Housing Finance Ltd, has approved a rights issue worth ₹650.02 crore to be subscribed by the parent company. The equity issuance, consisting of shares with a face value of ₹10 each, will be executed in one or more tranches, supporting capital augmentation within the housing finance business.
