Infosys Share Buyback Subscription Status in Focus as Tendering Enters the Final Day Today

Infosys’ ongoing share buyback has reached its final day, drawing considerable interest from shareholders as tendering levels continue to surpass expectations. The programme, one of the company’s significant capital allocation measures, has led investors to reassess both entitlement ratios and potential tax implications.

Market attention remains fixed on how the final response may influence sentiment around the stock.

Strong Participation Seen in Infosys Buyback Programme

The company’s ₹18,000 crore buyback, which opened on 20 November, has reportedly seen tendering of more than 500 million shares around five times the size of the offer.

Infosys aims to repurchase 100 million shares at a fixed price of ₹1,800 each. With the window set to close today, the scale of participation highlights broad shareholder engagement with the programme.

Entitlement Ratios for Shareholders

Smaller shareholders are eligible to tender two equity shares for every eleven held on the record date. For investors in the general category, the entitlement works out to seventeen shares for every 706 held.

Infosys’ promoters, including founders Narayana Murthy and Nandan Nilekani, have previously stated that they will not take part in the tender process.
