Infosys Shares in Focus: Board Approved ₹18,000 Crore Share Buyback

On September 12, 2025, Infosys shares are in focus as the Bengaluru-based IT services giant announced a significant share buyback on September 11 after market hours. The record date for shareholder eligibility has not yet been disclosed.

Infosys Buyback Details

The company revealed plans to repurchase up to 10 crore shares, representing approximately 2.19% of its total equity, through the tender offer route. The buyback price has been set at ₹1,800 per share, a 19% premium over Thursday’s closing price. With a total outlay of ₹18,000 crore, this marks Infosys' largest-ever buyback to date.

Buyback via Tender Offer

This is the 5th share buyback by Infosys in the past 8 years, with the most recent one having taken place in 2022. Notably, this latest buyback departs from the company’s recent pattern: while the last 3 buybacks were executed via the open market, this one will follow the tender offer mechanism, a shift necessitated by regulatory changes that prohibit open market buybacks effective April 1, 2025.

What is Tender Offer Buyback?

In a tender offer buyback, companies repurchase shares from existing shareholders at a fixed price, typically set at a premium to the prevailing market price. Infosys has also constituted a dedicated buyback committee to oversee the execution and finer details of the process.
