Infosys’ Biggest-Ever Share Buyback: The record date is November 14

Infosys, one of India’s most trusted and admired IT giants, is once again making headlines by repurchasing its shares. This is Infosys’ biggest-ever share buyback worth ₹18,000 crore.

For lakhs of investors and loyal shareholders, this move comes as both a financial opportunity and a strong message of the company’s confidence in its future.

Infosys’ Biggest-Ever Share Buyback

Infosys will repurchase 10 crore equity shares. It will represent 2.41% of its paid-up capital, at a price of ₹1,800 per share. This price reflects a 19% premium over the market value when the buyback was announced on September 12, and nearly 17.5% higher than the recent trading price.

The record date for eligibility is November 14, 2025, meaning investors who hold Infosys shares by that date will be entitled to participate in the offer.

This marks Infosys’ fourth buyback since 2017, and undoubtedly the biggest one yet. Earlier buybacks were:

• ₹13,000 crore in 2017
• ₹8,260 crore in 2019
• ₹9,300 crore in 2022

The shareholders supported Infosys’ Biggest-Ever Share Buyback overwhelmingly— with 98.81% voting in favour — which highlights the strong faith the market has in Infosys’ financial management and long-term strategy.

Promoters Opt Out, But Confidence Runs High

Interestingly, company promoters, including Narayan Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, and Sudha Murty, have decided not to participate in this buyback. Despite that, their ownership will slightly increase from 13.05% to 13.37%, while public shareholding will dip marginally from 86.95% to 86.63% if the offer is fully subscribed.

Why This Matters

This buyback will not only reward shareholders but also boost investor sentiment and strengthen the company’s confidence in its own performance.

Earnings per share (EPS) and return on equity (ROE), two key financial metrics that investors closely monitor, could be enhanced by this massive repurchase. Infosys’ move stands as a symbol of stability and guarantee for both Indian and global investors.
