Shares of Patanjali Foods Ltd., Concord Biotech Ltd., Asahi India Glass Ltd., Prestige Estates Projects Ltd. are among the 12 companies will be of interest on Tuesday, as it marks the last session for investors to buy shares to qualify for receiving the dividend before the stock goes ex/record-date.
