Several listed companies are scheduled for ex-dividend dates between April 22 and 24, with CIE Automotive and Sanofi India among the most notable names going ex-dividend this week. Patanjali Foods and Anlon Healthcare are also on the corporate actions calendar during this period. Shareholders must hold shares before the ex-dividend date to qualify for the announced payouts, a mechanical cutoff that typically triggers price adjustments at market open on the ex-date. These events are routine but operationally significant for income-focused investors, portfolio rebalancers, and short-term traders who use dividend capture strategies. The window between record date and actual payout also affects working capital timing for retail and institutional holders alike. Investors tracking these names should confirm exact payout amounts and record dates through exchange filings, as specific dividend quantum per share was not disclosed in available reporting.
