Investors are tracking corporate activity across 65 scheduled companies this week. From August 24 through August 28, the Bombay Stock Exchange calendar includes actions such as dividend payouts, bonus issues, stock splits, and rights offerings.
Structure Changes and Bonus Issues
Mayank Cattle Food Ltd will issue a 1:1 bonus on August 24, granting shareholders one additional share for each existing share. This method increases liquidity without raising new capital. TD Power Systems Ltd will also adjust its face value the same day, cutting it from Rs 2 per share to Re 1, which doubles the number of shares outstanding.

Waterways Leisure Tourism Ltd follows on August 26, reducing its face value from Rs 10 to Re 1. The move expands the share count while maintaining the same market valuation. Later in the week, Rotographics (India) Ltd and Spice Islands Industries Ltd will split their shares, lowering the face value from Rs 10 to Rs 2 to make shares more accessible.
Dividend Payouts and Financial Returns
Procter & Gamble Health Ltd leads with a final dividend of Rs 45 per share. Gillette India Ltd follows with Rs 60 per share, one of the largest payouts announced. Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd and Protean eGov Technologies Ltd will distribute Rs 10 per share, while Whirlpool of India Ltd offers Rs 5. Vardhman Holdings, Vardhman Textiles, Vardhman Special Steels, and Dynamatic Technologies will each pay Rs 5 per share. Honasa Consumer Ltd and Poly Medicure Ltd set their dividends at Rs 3, while Arvind SmartSpaces, Swan Corp, and Senco Gold Ltd range between Rs 2 and Rs 3. Smaller payouts include Rs 2 from Premco Global and Rs 0.35 from SJVN. DOMS Industries Ltd announced Rs 3.65 per share, and MAS Financial Services, Mobavenue AI Tech, and NR Agarwal Industries will pay between Rs 0.75 and Rs 2.
These distributions often reflect a company’s financial health. Gillette India’s Rs 60 dividend indicates strong cash reserves. For smaller firms, even modest payouts can accumulate for major shareholders. The approach rewards investors without diluting equity. Other companies on the list include Deepak, Diffusion Engineers, Aditya Vision, Black Box, Cantabil Retail, Coral India Finance, DAM Capital, Emami Paper, Gujarat Ambuja, Gulshan Polyols, Multi Commodity, Credo Brands, NBCC, Paras Defence, Sterling Tools, Studds Accessories, Royal Orchid, Yuken India, Yash Highvoltage, and Thomas Cook. Their dividends range from Rs 0.10 to Rs 10 per share.

Interim Dividends and Rights Issues
Several companies will distribute interim dividends. These payments occur before final financial results and provide shareholders with earlier returns. Rights issues, where existing investors can buy additional shares at a discount, are also scheduled. Such actions allow firms to raise capital while offering current shareholders priority access to new stock.
The week’s activity highlights how companies use different methods to manage capital and reward investors. Bonus issues and splits adjust share structure, while dividends return profits directly. Rights issues balance fundraising with shareholder benefits, ensuring flexibility in corporate finance strategies.
