Are You Ready Investors? So, everyone’s fav tech giant Infosys has officially rolled out its biggest-ever share buyback worth ₹18,000 crore, and the window is now wide open, from November 20 to November 26.
Now, If you had Infosys shares in your demat on November 14, congratulations, you’re on the VIP list and eligible to tender. This buyback is not just a massive chunk in size, it is also grabbing plenty of curiosity across Dalal Street.
Will you ride the premium or hold tight for the long game? With a generous buyback price of ₹1,800 per share, the decision is tempting and desirable!
