Infosys Limited on Thursday announced that its Board of Directors has approved a share buyback proposal worth ₹18,000 crore. The decision was taken during the company’s board meeting held on September 11, 2025.
Under the approved plan, the IT major will repurchase up to 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares with a face value of ₹5 each, representing up to 2.41% of the company’s total paid-up equity share capital. The buyback will be carried out at a price of ₹1,800 per share through the tender offer route, subject to shareholder approval via a special resolution.
The buyback size is well within SEBI’s limit of 25% of the aggregate paid-up capital and free reserves of the company. The record date for determining shareholder eligibility will be announced later.
Infosys also clarified that American Depositary Share (ADS) holders can participate in the buyback by cancelling their ADSs and converting them into equity shares before the record date.
The company has constituted a Buyback Committee, comprising the CFO, Chief Legal Officer & Chief Compliance Officer, and the Company Secretary, to oversee the process.
The pre-buyback shareholding pattern shows promoters holding 13.05%, mutual funds 20.55%, FIIs/FPIs 27.39%, ADR holders 9.26%, and the remaining by the Indian public and others. The final post-buyback shareholding will depend on the actual tendered and accepted shares.
The public announcement with timelines and further details will be issued in due course as per SEBI’s buyback regulations.
