Infosys Limited Launches ₹18,000 Crore Share Buyback; IT Sector Sentiment Boosted

Indian IT services heavyweight Infosys has begun its largest-ever share buyback programme, valued at approximately ₹18,000 crore, with the tender window opening on 20 November and closing 26 November 2025. 

The company plans to buy back up to 10 crore fully-paid equity shares at ₹1,800 per share (face value ₹5), amounting to about 2.41% of its paid-up equity capital. The move is part of a broader capital-return strategy and may improve per-share metrics for shareholders. 

Market commentary suggests the buyback has given the Indian IT-services segment a morale boost, especially as global tech demand and margin pressures become more uncertain. That said, investors will watch how service revenues grow, how wage inflation is managed, and how digital-transformation spending evolves for IT exporters.
