Corporate Actions Watch: Key Events for October 20, 2026

Indian benchmark indices National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) are closed on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, in observance of the Dussehra festival. Consequently, regular trading and trade settlements across equities, equity derivatives, and the Securities Lending and Borrowing (SLB) segments are suspended today. Normal market activities and corporate entitlement settlements will resume on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

Corporate Actions Today (October 20, 2026)

Because Indian stock exchanges remain shut today for the Dussehra holiday, there are no equities scheduled to turn ex-dividend, ex-split, or ex-bonus during today's market hours. However, selective off-market and administrative corporate events, regulatory compliance deadlines, and scheduled board meetings are slated:

• Trading Holiday Impact: Zero equity shares are quoted ex-benefit today on the NSE or BSE due to the statutory trading holiday. All physical and demat corporate settlement schedules have shifted forward by one settlement cycle.
• Orchid Pharma Ltd: Board meeting convened to consider and evaluate fund-raising options through permissible securities.
• Kapston Services Ltd: Board meeting scheduled to review and consider financial results and corporate matters, including stock split proposals.
• Shree Ram Twistex Ltd: Board meeting scheduled to consider and approve second-quarter unaudited financial results.
