Dividend stocks India: Don’t Buy a Single Share Until You See This List

Dividend stocks India: Get ready for a whirlwind week in the stock market as a slew of companies are set to reward their shareholders with dividends, bonus issues, and stock splits. For investors in India, and for those keeping a keen eye on the Indian markets from the USA and the UK, the week starting September 22, 2025, is packed with opportunities and crucial dates you cannot afford to miss. Understanding these corporate actions is key to maximizing your returns and making informed investment decisions.

Unlocking Passive Income: The Dividend Bonanza

For those who love the idea of their investments generating a steady stream of passive income, this week is a goldmine. Dozens of companies will be trading ex-dividend, which is the critical date for determining who gets the next dividend payout. If you own the shares before the ex-dividend date, you are entitled to the dividend. If you buy on or after this date, the previous owner gets the reward.

Here’s a look at some of the major players that will be in the dividend spotlight:

• Monday, September 22, 2025: A massive list of companies will go ex-dividend, including heavyweights like Bajaj Holdings & Investment Ltd, BEML Ltd, and Maharashtra Scooters Ltd. Other notable names include Gujarat Fluorochemicals Ltd, Monte Carlo Fashions Ltd, and Parag Milk Foods Ltd. This is a day for dividend investors to watch their portfolios closely.
• Tuesday, September 23, 2025: The dividend parade continues with companies like Jindal Poly Films Ltd, Sunteck Realty Ltd, and HP Adhesives Ltd. This day also sees several other mid-cap and small-cap companies rewarding their shareholders.
• Wednesday, September 24 & Thursday, September 25, 2025: The dividend action slows down, but still offers opportunities with companies like SMS Lifesciences India Ltd and Adtech Systems Ltd going ex-dividend.
• Friday, September 26, 2025: The week wraps up with a few more companies, including Caspian Corporate Services Ltd, making their dividend payouts.

The Ultimate Investor Reward: Bonus Shares Galore!

Who doesn’t love a freebie? A bonus issue is when a company gives its existing shareholders additional shares, free of cost. This is often a sign of a company’s confidence in its financial health and a great way to reward long-term investors.

Get ready for these exciting bonus issues:

• The Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd is offering a generous 2:1 bonus issue on Monday, September 22, meaning you get two bonus shares for every one share you hold.
• Industry giants Pidilite Industries Ltd (the makers of Fevicol) and Time Technoplast Ltd will both trade ex-bonus on Tuesday, September 23, with a 1:1 bonus issue, effectively doubling the number of shares for their investors.
• On Friday, September 26, Nazara Technologies Ltd, a key player in the gaming industry, will also have a 1:1 bonus issue. Additionally, Chandra Prabhu International Ltd will offer a 1:2 bonus issue.

Making Stocks More Accessible: The Power of Stock Splits

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares to boost liquidity and make them more affordable for retail investors. While it doesn’t change the company’s overall value, a lower share price can often attract more investors, leading to increased demand.

Here are the companies undergoing a stock split:

• Adani Power Ltd will see its stock split from a face value of ₹10 to ₹2 on Monday, September 22, making its shares more accessible to a wider range of investors.
• Nazara Technologies Ltd is not only offering a bonus but will also have its stock split from a face value of ₹4 to ₹2 on Friday, September 26.
• PVV Infra Ltd and R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Ltd are also on the list for stock splits on Friday, September 26.

Other Crucial Corporate Actions to Watch

Beyond dividends, bonuses, and splits, there are other significant corporate actions happening:

• Income Distribution (InvIT): Digital Fibre Infrastructure Trust and Intelligent Supply Chain Infrastructure Trust will distribute income on Tuesday, September 23.
• Right Issue of Equity Shares: Mangalam Industrial Finance Ltd, Sunshield Chemicals Ltd, and 3i Infotech Ltd will be raising funds through a rights issue.
• Amalgamation and Spin-Off: Piramal Enterprises Ltd will undergo an amalgamation, and Shankara Building Products Ltd will have a spin-off, reshaping their corporate structures.

For anyone invested in the Indian stock market, whether you’re in Mumbai, New York, or London, this is a week to be proactive. Mark your calendars, review your portfolio, and get ready to capitalize on these exciting opportunities.
