Infosys has launched its largest-ever share buyback worth Rs 18,000 crore, drawing strong interest from investors keen to know how many of their shares are likely to be accepted. The company will repurchase 10 crore fully paid-up equity shares at a buyback price of Rs 1,800 per share, representing 2.41 per cent of its total equity.
The tender offer window opens on November 20 and closes on November 26, 2025. During this period, shareholders can tender their shares based on the entitlement calculated on the record date.
Infosys has made the entitlement-checking process simple for investors. Eligible shareholders can check their entitlement on the Registrar’s website by following these steps:
Visit the entitlement page at the Registrar’s portal.
Select the name of the company: ‘Infosys Limited – Buyback 2025’.
Choose the holding type – Physical, NSDL, or CDSL.
Enter the relevant Folio Number, DPID/Client ID, or CDSL Client ID based on the holding type.
Enter the security code and click Submit.
The system will display the entitlement in the pre-filled Form of Acceptance-cum-Acknowledgement.
This entitlement represents the maximum number of shares a shareholder can tender in the buyback.
The record date for determining eligibility and entitlement was November 14, 2025. Based on data available on that date, the entitlement ratio for small shareholders has been set at 2:11, meaning they can tender two shares for every eleven they hold.
For the general category, the entitlement ratio is 17:706.
Infosys has reserved 15 per cent of the buyback size for small shareholders. A small shareholder is defined as someone whose holding does not exceed Rs 2,00,000 as per the record date. Infosys has identified 25,85,684 small shareholders, one of the highest among major listed companies.
While entitlement indicates how many shares may be tendered, it does not guarantee acceptance. Investors often tender more than their entitlement depending on expected participation levels.
Infosys has conducted buybacks in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022–23, returning significant cash to shareholders. Promoters, including Nandan Nilekani and Sudha Murty, are not participating in the current buyback, which may improve the acceptance ratio for public shareholders.
