Hurry! Today’s Your Last Chance To Qualify For NTPC’s Rs 2.75 Dividend; Buy Before Market Closes?

The largest integrated power company in India, NTPC Ltd., has declared that its shareholders would receive an interim dividend of Rs 2.75 per share. Today is the last day to buy NTPC shares in order to qualify for this dividend payout, since the record date and ex-dividend date are set for November 7, 2025. An investor must purchase the shares one trading day prior to the ex-day in order for ownership to be registered in your name by the record date. This is because share settlements in India follow a T+1 system, so an investor must hold the NTPC shares prior to the ex-date in order to be eligible for the dividend.
