This move not only rewards shareholders but also shows the company’s confidence in its financial strength. The buyback price has been set at ₹1,800 per share, which is nearly 19% higher than its last closing price, giving investors a solid reason to cheer.

Infosys Shares Previous Buyback And Regulatory Relief
Last Infosys announced a share buyback was in 2022, which was worth ₹9,300 crore. Which was way more less than the one today.
The current ₹18,000 crore buyback is the largest ever for Infosys so far. The record date for the latest buyback has not been announced yet, so investors are still waiting on that detail.
In a filing, Infosys also shared that it has received exemptive relief from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This was necessary because of differences between Indian and US regulations for tender offer buybacks. The relief allows Infosys to move forward smoothly with its buyback process across both countries.
Financial Strength Behind the Buyback
- Cash and cash equivalents: ₹42,000+ crore (FY25).
- Free cash flow: ₹20,000+ crore.
- Buyback consistent with goal to return 85% of free cash flow to shareholders over 5 years.
