The IT major on Thursday announced that it has fixed Friday, November 14, 2025, as the record date for its Rs 18,000-crore share buyback programme announced in September.

The company further clarified that promoters and the promoter group have decided not to participate in the buyback, and their shareholding has not been considered for computing the entitlement ratio.
