Last day to buy BPCL, Coforge, other stocks to qualify for dividends ahead of record date tomorrow

Thursday, July 30, marks an important day for income-seeking investors as several companies have declared their interim or final dividends, and today is the last trading day to be eligible for these payouts.

Among the prominent names, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Coforge Ltd stand out with notable dividend announcements.

State-run oil marketing company BPCL has announced a final dividend of Rs 5 per share. This move comes as part of the company’s consistent efforts to deliver shareholder value despite volatility in global crude prices.


Another key highlight is Coforge, which has declared an interim dividend of Rs 4 per share. The technology and IT services firm continues to reward shareholders regularly, and this payout aligns with its stable earnings performance and robust order book visibility. Investors looking to capture this dividend must ensure that they hold Coforge shares at the end of today’s trading session.

Apart from BPCL and Coforge, several other companies have also announced dividends and will trade ex-dividend starting tomorrow. These include:

• Balkrishna Industries– Rs 4 per share
  
  
• Carborundum Universal– Rs 2.5 per share
  
  
• Chembond Material Technologies– Rs 1.75 per share

• TTK Prestige– Rs 6 per share
  
• United Breweries– Rs 10 per share

Investors must purchase these stocks before the end of today’s trading session to be eligible for the dividends. The ex-dividend date is typically the next trading day, which means any purchases made tomorrow onward will not qualify for the announced payouts.
