Infosys has announced its largest-ever share buyback programme worth ₹18,000 crore, approved by its Board of Directors on Thursday. The move reflects strong financial health and aims to reward shareholders. The Infosys board approves record ₹18,000 crore share buyback marks a major milestone for the IT services giant.
The company will repurchase 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares of face value ₹5 each. This represents 2.41% of Infosys’ total paid-up equity share capital. The buyback price is set at ₹1,800 per share, which is about 19% higher than Thursday’s closing price of ₹1,509.5 on the BSE.
Infosys will now seek shareholder approval before proceeding further. At the end of June 2025, the company reported a free cash flow of USD 884 million (₹7,805 crore), highlighting its strong liquidity.
This buyback matches the record set by TCS in 2022, when it repurchased shares worth ₹18,000 crore. Infosys last announced a share buyback in 2017, purchasing 11.3 crore shares at ₹1,150 each, amounting to ₹13,000 crore.
With this approval, Infosys continues its strategy of returning value to shareholders while maintaining its market leadership in IT services.
