Elecon Engineering’s ₹0.50-per-share interim dividend has a record date of October 21, 2026. NSE lists the same day as the ex-dividend date. Shareholders tracking the payout should separate that entitlement date from the payment schedule: the company says payment or dispatch will be on or after November 4.
The board declared the dividend on October 14 for FY2026–27. This report is an advance calendar check, not a claim that Elecon announced a new dividend on October 20.

Why the wording matters
A record date and a payment date do different jobs. Elecon’s filing uses the record date to determine entitlement. Its separate payment instruction starts on November 4; it does not promise that every shareholder will receive cash on that day.
The ₹1 face value is the nominal share denomination, not the current stock-market price. The declared ₹0.50 is a per-share amount, not a 50% market return. No current share price, dividend yield, tax outcome or guaranteed investment gain has been verified for this report.
Personal eligibility and receipt of funds are not confirmed by this calendar check. Shareholders should use the issuer’s distribution information and their own holding records for those questions.
Official source check: . This is the evidence-check time, not a share-price quote or confirmation that payment has been completed.
