Infosys Limited announced a buyback of up to 10,00,00,000 fully paid-up equity shares, representing 2.41% of its total paid-up equity share capital. The buyback price is fixed at INR 1,800 per equity share, totaling an aggregate consideration of up to INR 18,000 crore. This tender offer route, approved by shareholders on November 6, 2025, opens on November 20, 2025, and closes on November 26, 2025.

The buyback aims to return surplus cash to shareholders, improve return on equity, and enhance earnings per share. Promoters and the promoter group have stated their intention not to participate. Small shareholders will have a reserved category, with an entitlement of 2 equity shares for every 11 held, while the general category's entitlement is 17 equity shares for every 706 held.
