Infosys Share Price in Focus: Last Day to Buy Shares Ahead of Buyback Record Date Tomorrow

Infosys Ltd will attract attention on Thursday as it represents the final trading day for investors to purchase shares and qualify for the company’s ₹18,000-crore share buyback. 

Infosys shares closed at ₹1,530.60 in the previous session on Wednesday.

The record date, set for 14 November, determines shareholder eligibility for participation. Under the T+1 settlement cycle, shares must be bought by 13 November.

Infosys Buyback Record Date and Eligibility

The record date identifies shareholders entitled to participate in corporate actions such as buybacks, dividends, or bonuses.

Under India’s T+1 settlement framework, trades are settled one day after execution, meaning investors must purchase shares through their demat account before the record date to qualify.

As Infosys’ record date for its buyback is 14 November, only shares bought by 13 November will be eligible.

The ex-date, which typically coincides with the record date, marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the buyback.

Details of the Infosys Buyback

Infosys’ board approved the share buyback on 11 September 2025, authorising the repurchase of up to 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of ₹5 each.

The buyback price is set at ₹1,800 per share, amounting to a total outlay of ₹18,000 crore and covering about 2.41% of the company’s total paid-up equity capital.

Infosys Promoter Participation

Infosys promoters and members of the promoter group, including Nandan M. Nilekani and Sudha Murty, have chosen not to participate in the buyback. As of the announcement date, the promoters collectively held 13.05% of the company’s equity capital.

Their decision aligns with previous practices, allowing a larger portion of the buyback to be available to public shareholders, including retail and institutional investors.
