Several Indian companies are gearing up to distribute dividends to their shareholders in the coming week, presenting potential income opportunities for investors. To be eligible for these payouts, investors must own the shares before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the day when the stock's price adjusts to reflect the dividend payout. It precedes the record date, which is when the company determines the list of shareholders eligible for the dividend.

Here's a look at some of the key companies that will be trading ex-dividend next week:
