When I run the Kendo examples, I see the input fields on popup dialogs for Edit and Create are using Kendo UI extensions. For example, kendoDatePicker is used for DateTime field, kendoNumericTextBox is used for numeric field, etc. However, on the popup dialogs of my application, this is not happening. The plain html input tags are used. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

I would guess you havent added the editor templates to get the desired functionality. These can be found in the release zip file in wrappers\aspnetmvc\EditorTemplates and should be placed inside "your web project"/View/Shared/EditorTemplates
If you name them as they are (DateTime for example) they will be used by default. If you name them something custom (kDateTime for example) they will not be selected by default, but you can use them by setting the attribute [UIHint("kDateTime")] on your view model property.

Thanks for the exact answer. Wish it was documented somewhere. For people with the same question, please note that in Victor's answer, the naming means the name of the files in the EditTemplates folder. Also note there are two files with the same name but different extensions. One will need to use the same name for both.

Glad it was helpful!
For more in depth information about editor templates and display templates I can recommend Brad Wilson's now slightly dated but still very good blog series: http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2009/10/aspnet-mvc-2-templates-part-1-introduction.html
It is written about ASP MVC 2, but the concept stays the same for 3 and 4 as well. To find out how default templates are written, the ASP MVC sources are of great help (https://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/58781) and also MVC futures from the same page.
