Infosys Unveils Landmark Rs 18,000 Crore Share Buyback Program

Infosys is launching its largest-ever share buyback program worth Rs 18,000 crore, set to open for subscription from November 20 to November 26, 2025. The buyback aims to purchase 10 crore equity shares at Rs 1,800 each, enhancing shareholder value and aligning with the company's capital allocation policy.

Infosys, an IT services behemoth, is set to initiate its most substantial share buyback program worth Rs 18,000 crore. This opportunity for shareholders opens on Thursday, closing on November 26, according to official records.

The buyback strategy targets acquiring 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares valued at Rs 5 each, which equates to 2.41 percent of the company's total paid-up equity share capital, priced at Rs 1,800 per share.

While key promoters like Nandan M Nilekani and Sudha Murty opted out of participation, Infosys's initiative aligns with the strategy to return surplus funds efficiently and augment shareholder value by trimming the company's equity base. This undertaking follows similar past buyback programs from 2017 onwards.
