Infosys Approves Rs 18,000 Crore Share Buyback at Rs 1,800 via Tender Offer

The move seeks to return surplus cash to investors after a year of stock weakness.

Overview

  • Up to 10 crore shares, or about 2.41% of paid-up equity, will be repurchased at a 19% premium to Thursday’s close.
  • The board set up a buyback committee and will announce the record date later, with the plan requiring shareholder approval.
  • Infosys reported cash and investments of roughly Rs 45,204 crore as of June 30, 2025, underpinning the programme’s funding.
  • The stock fell around 1.3% on the day as brokerages cast the step as a valuation signal and capital-return decision.
  • CLSA said the announcement could nudge peer TCS to weigh a similar tender buyback given the sector’s soft demand backdrop.
