Infosys announces ₹18,000 crore buyback offer

Infosys Limited has initiated a buyback offer for up to 10 crore equity shares, representing 2.41% of its total paid-up equity share capital, at ₹1,800 per share. The aggregate consideration for this buyback will be ₹18,000 crore, sourced from free reserves and securities premium. The company aims to improve return on equity and earnings per share through this cash distribution.

The buyback window opens on November 20, 2025, and closes on November 26, 2025. Eligible shareholders are invited to participate on a proportionate basis. Small shareholders will have 15% of the buyback volume reserved for them. Promoters and the promoter group have stated their intention not to participate.

This initiative follows board approval on September 11, 2025, and shareholder approval on November 6, 2025. Infosys emphasizes that the buyback is not expected to significantly impact its profitability or management structure, nor will it lead to delisting from Indian stock exchanges.
