Three public-sector companies — Coal India, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and RailTel Corporation of India — will trade ex-dividend on 4 November 2025. Investors who want the interim payout must own shares by the end of 3 November. Coal India offers an interim dividend of ₹10.25 per share, Mazagon Dock ₹6 per share and RailTel ₹1. The move highlights dividend-yield plays on select PSUs amid muted market clarity and may attract investor interest in income-oriented equity allocations.
