India’s second-largest IT services company, Infosys on Monday said its board of directors will consider a proposal for the buyback of its shares at its board meeting scheduled for September 11, 2025.
“The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Infosys Limited (“Company”) will consider a proposal for buyback of fully paid-up equity shares of the Company at its meeting to be held on September 11, 2025, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018, as amended,” Infosys said in an exchange filing.
Infosys’ previous share buyback took place in 2022 in which the company approved a Rs 9,300-crore buyback programme with a maximum buyback price of Rs 1,850 per share.
Timing of the buyback:
- This will be Infosys’ fifth buyback programme if approved by the board on September 11, 2025. Infosys will conduct this buyback, if approved, at a time when the global IT industry is going through a turmoil. Trump tariffs and AI adoption have created a fair amount of uncertainty in the IT services industry.
- Uncertain business environment usually prompts companies to conserve cash and build capabilities through M&As. Against this backdrop, Infosys’ decision to conduct buyback programme for surprise many.
- Infosys share price has corrected close to 24% year to date (YTD). Buyback is likely to push share price higher.
