Aurobindo Pharma has announced a share buyback programme valued at ₹800 crore, drawing attention from investors assessing participation. With the record date approaching, timing becomes important due to settlement rules.
Investors planning to be eligible for the buyback must ensure shares are credited to their demat accounts within the stipulated timeframe.
The company disclosed its buyback plan on April 6, setting the buyback price at ₹1,475 per share.
This represents a premium of over 7% compared to the previous closing price of ₹1,374. The buyback provides shareholders with an option to tender shares at a price above recent market levels.
The record date to determine eligible shareholders has been fixed as April 17, 2026. Investors must hold shares in their demat accounts on this date to participate in the buyback process.
Due to the T+1 settlement cycle in Indian markets, April 16, 2026 is the last day investors can purchase shares to qualify for the buyback. Shares bought on this date are expected to be credited to demat accounts by the record date. Any purchases made after this deadline will not be considered eligible.
Aurobindo Pharma’s share price showed marginal movement in early trading on April 16, 2026. The stock was trading at ₹1,375.00 as of 10:14 AM IST, reflecting a modest gain of ₹1.10 or 0.08% compared to the previous close of ₹1,373.90.
