A set of index and mid-cap names turn ex-dividend today, affecting price adjustments at the open and short-term yield screens. Payouts span select IT, engineering and financial names with interim dividends ranging from ₹4.6 to ₹23 per share. Income-seeking investors may reassess total-return profiles, while traders adjust for mechanically lower reference prices and potential arbitrage in futures. Screens will also watch for dividend-capture strategies unwinding post record-date. The cluster of ex-dates may modestly influence sector performance and intraday sentiment.
