Infosys is launching its biggest-ever share buyback worth ₹18,000 crore. The company will start buying back its shares from November 20, and the window will stay open till November 26.

Infosys will buy up to 10 crore shares at a fixed price of ₹1,800 per share. This is higher than the current market price, so some investors may choose to sell their shares back to the company.

Shareholders who held Infosys shares on the record date, November 14, are eligible to take part. Small shareholders (those holding shares worth up to ₹2 lakh) have a separate reserved quota.

To participate, investors must tender their shares through their broker on NSE or BSE. Those holding physical share certificates must send the required documents to the registrar, KFin Technologies, before the deadline.

Infosys says the buyback is part of its plan to return extra cash to shareholders. Promoters, including Nandan Nilekani and Sudha Murty, will not sell their shares in this buyback.

The company will complete payments to those whose shares are accepted by December 3.

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.
