Infosys Approves ₹18,000 Crore Buyback at ₹1,800 per Share, SEC Grants Relief for Tender Offer

Bengaluru, September 12, 2025: Infosys Limited has approved its share buyback offer, valued at ₹18,000 crore. Under the buyback offer, the company will repurchase as many as 10 core equity shares. The repurchased equity shares will represent up to 2.41% of its paid-up equity capital. Infosys has approved the buyback offer at a fixed price of ₹1,800 per share. The company will conduct the buyback through the tender offer route, allowing shareholders as of the record date to participate. The buyback, which was approved by Infosys board yesterday, is now awaiting shareholder approval through a special resolution. The record date, along with other deadlines, will be announced by the company in due course.
On September 11, the Infosys Limited share price ended 1.49%, or 22.90 points higher at ₹1,509.70. The shares made an intraday high of ₹1,527.50 and a low of ₹1,506.50.
Relief From SEC
Adding to the event, Infosys was granted relief by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on September 11, 2025. This has eased procedural conflicts between Indian and U.S. rules for tender offers. Now, holders of American Depositary Shares (ADS) can participate in the process by cancelling their ADS and withdrawing underlying shares. Furthermore, they will have the option to re-deposit, if they are not accepted.
Pre-Buyback Shareholding (as of Sep 5, 2025)
| Category | No. of Shareholders | Shares (Cr) | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promoter & Promoter Group | 26 | 54.20 | 13.05 |
| Indian FIs, Banks & Mutual Funds | 203 | 157.09 | 37.81 |
| FIIs/FPIs/NRIs/ADRs/OCBs | 59,508 | 156.77 | 37.74 |
| Indian Public, Corporates & Others | 25,56,934 | 47.37 | 11.40 |
| Total | 26,16,671 | 415.44 | 100.00 |
The share buyback is likely to have a positive effect on the company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) and may improve return ratios such as Return on Equity (RoE), while giving the company more operational control.
