Stock markets have been quite volatile of late due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Indian equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled in tandem with an extremely weak trend in global markets. Relentless foreign fund outflows and weakness in the rupee have also made investors risk-averse. The 30-share BSE Sensex dived 1,836.57 points, or 2.46 per cent, to settle at 72,696.39. During the day, it plunged 1,974.52 points, or 2.64 per cent, to 72,558.44. The 50-share NSE Nifty tanked 601.85 points, or 2.60 per cent, to end at 22,512.65. However, equity benchmark indices are expected to open gap up, supported by a meaningful improvement in global sentiment following the recent decline in crude oil prices. Amid this volatility, investors are always on the lookout for stocks that can help them earn additional profit on their investments. One such stock is Vedanta Ltd. However, investors must buy the stock before the ex-date, which is generally 1-2 days before the record date, in order to be eligible for this corporate action. While the ex-date is the date on which the stock traded without dividend rights, the record date is when the company checks its records for stockholders.

The board of directors of the company has declared a third interim dividend of Rs 11 or 1,100 per cent, per equity share with a face value of Rs 1 each for the financial year 2025-26. According to the information shared, this will amount to Rs 4,300 crores.
