HPCL, ICICI Bank Among 90 Stocks With Dividend Record Dates
Travelers heading to Scotland faced frustration this weekend as several LNER trains to Edinburgh were suddenly cancelled, leaving many stranded or scrambling for alternative routes. Passengers reported packed platforms, long waits, and limited information, sparking concerns about the reliability of the East Coast Main Line service.
The disruption, which comes at one of the busiest travel periods of the year, has raised questions about the cause and how long it will last.
HPCL and the dividend spotlight
HPCL, short for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, is in focus this week as one of nearly 90 companies that have set record dates for dividends, bonuses, and stock splits. This news matters because the record date decides which shareholders will receive payouts. Under the T+1 settlement rule, you must own shares at least one trading day before the ex-date to qualify.
That means if you want to catch HPCL’s dividend, make sure your shares are in your account before that deadline.
What’s happening across the market?
From Monday, 11 August, to Friday, 15 August 2025, a broad range of companies across sectors like energy, finance, consumer goods, and infrastructure will pay dividends or issue bonuses and splits. Alongside HPCL and ICICI Bank, you have Reliance Industries, Grasim, Godrej Consumer, Pidilite, and more stepping into the payout game.
So what’s fueling this wave of corporate actions? Many companies aim to reward shareholders or maintain steady investor confidence, especially in today’s volatile markets.
HPCL’s dividend and comparable payouts
Specifically, HPCL has declared a final dividend of ₹10.5 per share (105 percent) set to go ex-dividend on Thursday, 14 August. This puts HPCL in the same league as Reliance Industries, offering ₹5.5, and Gland Pharma, delivering a hefty ₹18 (1 800 percent). The week is also active with bonus issues, for example, VRL Logistics will issue bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio on the same day.
That makes it one of the most action-packed days for investors looking for income.
Why do these dates matter so much?
Let’s ask a question: Why should you care about record dates and ex-dividend days?
Here’s the answer in plain words: on the ex-dividend day, the stock price often falls by roughly the dividend amount, because new buyers no longer get the upcoming payout.
But if you already hold the shares by the record date, you’re in line for the cash reward, or bonus share,s or split benefits. It’s a small timing trick that can make a real difference.
How are investors responding?
Even media channels are buzzing. For example, ETMarkets posted on their official X account: “ICICI Bank, HPCL among 90 stocks with record dates for dividends…”, showing how widely this news is being followed.
