**Infosys Announces Record Share Buyback Amidst Calls for Diversification**
**Mumbai, India – September 12, 2025** – Leading Indian IT services provider Infosys has approved a share buyback worth a massive 180 billion rupees ($2.04 billion), marking the company’s largest buyback program to date. The announcement, made on Thursday, specified a buyback price of ₹1,800 per share, to be conducted through the tender offer route.
This marks the fifth buyback in Infosys’s history, the last of which occurred in 2022-2023. While U.S.-listed shares of Infosys saw a slight uptick of 0.03% to $16.99 following the announcement, shares in Mumbai closed 1.5% lower at ₹1,509.7.
The move highlights the investor-friendly approach of Indian IT companies. However, some analysts suggest a shift in strategy may be necessary. Gaurav Vasu, founder of market research firm UnearthInsight, argues that Indian IT firms should “look at M&A and also build products aimed at AI and cloud like the big tech companies of the U.S.” His call comes at a time when technological advancements, specifically in AI, are rapidly reshaping the global landscape, as discussed in *Today’s Cache*, The Hindu’s tech newsletter.
