Bajaj Auto Launches Buyback of 46.94 Lakh Shares at ₹12,000 Each
Bajaj Auto is launching a buyback of up to 46.94 lakh equity shares at ₹12,000 per share. The total buyback value is up to ₹5,632.80 crore. The tender offer period runs from July 1 to July 7, 2026. This represents 1.68% of the total equity share capital.
A buyback of this size can positively impact earnings per share by reducing the number of outstanding shares. However, the impact on the stock price and overall market sentiment might be moderate given the percentage of shares being bought back relative to the total outstanding shares.
The buyback announcement is generally viewed positively as it signals the company's confidence in its financial health and its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The premium buyback price also indicates a favorable offer for shareholders.
Bajaj Auto Limited has announced a buyback program for up to 46,94,000 fully paid-up equity shares, representing approximately 1.68% of the company's total paid-up equity share capital. The buyback will be conducted through the tender offer route at a price of ₹12,000 per equity share, for an aggregate amount of up to ₹5,632.80 crore (excluding transaction costs).
The buyback is scheduled to open on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, and will close on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. The last date for receipt of completed tender forms and other specified documents by the Registrar to the Buyback is also July 7, 2026. The settlement of bids on the stock exchanges is expected by July 14, 2026.
The buyback size constitutes 16.93% and 15.59% of the company's paid-up equity share capital and free reserves as of March 31, 2026, based on standalone and consolidated financial statements, respectively. This is within the statutory limit of 25%. The record date for determining entitlement to the buyback was June 24, 2026. The Letter of Offer for the buyback was dispatched on June 29, 2026.
