NBCC, RVNL, Mazagon Dock, Hitachi Energy among dividend stocks

Several state-run and private companies, including NBCC, RVNL, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Hitachi Energy, and Zen Technologies, are among the stocks going ex-dividend this week, NDTV Profit reports. The ex-dividend date is the day the stock price adjusts downward to reflect the upcoming payout, and investors must own shares before that date to qualify for the dividend.

The list features a mix of engineering, defence, and energy firms. NBCC (India) is a government construction company, RVNL is a rail infrastructure firm, and Mazagon Dock is a key defence shipbuilder. Hitachi Energy India is a power technology company, while Zen Technologies specialises in defence training simulators.

Investors should check the record date set by each company, which typically falls one day after the ex-dividend date. The dividend amounts and payment schedules vary by firm.
