Infosys Ltd has fixed November 14, 2025, as the record date for its ₹18,000-crore share buyback, marking one of the largest capital-return exercises in the company’s history.
In a stock exchange filing, the Bengaluru-based IT major said it would buy back up to 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹5 each at a price of ₹1,800 per share through the open market route. The buyback amount represents around 2.41 percent of Infosys’ total paid-up equity capital.
Approved by the board on September 11, the buyback aims to optimise the company’s capital structure, improve return ratios, and reward shareholders. The programme is expected to be completed over the next few months, subject to regulatory clearances.
Notably, Infosys’ promoters and promoter group, who hold approximately 13.05 percent of the company’s equity, have chosen not to participate in the buyback. Market analysts see this as a sign of management’s confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects.
This is Infosys’ fifth buyback since 2017, and the largest by value. The company last conducted a ₹9,300-crore buyback in 2022 at ₹1,850 per share.
Infosys said the move reflects its commitment to returning surplus cash to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet. The announcement came amid steady demand for digital transformation services and stable margins in the IT sector.
Shares of Infosys traded slightly higher after the announcement, with analysts noting that the buyback could help improve earnings per share and support valuations in the medium term.
