Cyient Approves ₹720 Crore Share Buyback at ₹1125 Per Share
Cyient Limited approved a ₹720 crore share buyback at ₹1125 per share. The company will repurchase up to 64 lakh shares, representing 5.76% of its equity share capital. The buyback is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The Board meeting concluded on April 23, 2026.
A buyback of this size (5.76% of equity) can have a noticeable impact on the stock's valuation and shareholder structure, but it is not a transformational event for the company's core operations.
The approval of a share buyback program is generally viewed positively by the market as it can increase shareholder value by returning capital to investors and signaling the company's confidence in its financial health.
Cyient Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on April 23, 2026, has approved a proposal to buy back equity shares amounting to ₹720 crore (Indian Rupees Seven Hundred Twenty Crores). The buyback will be conducted at a price of ₹1125 (Indian Rupees One Thousand One Hundred Twenty Five) per equity share, payable in cash. The company plans to purchase up to 64,00,000 equity shares, representing approximately 5.76% of the total paid-up equity share capital. This buyback constitutes 20.31% and 14.09% of the aggregate paid-up capital and free reserves based on the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026, respectively.
The buyback will be open to all equity shareholders, excluding the promoter and promoter group, and will be executed through the tender offer route in compliance with SEBI (Buy-Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018, and the Companies Act, 2013. The promoter and promoter group have expressed their intention not to participate in this buyback. The proposal is subject to shareholder approval via a special resolution through postal ballot with remote e-voting, and necessary approvals from regulatory authorities including SEBI and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company has formed a Buyback Committee to oversee the implementation. Due to the presence of US resident shareholders, Cyient will also seek exemptive relief from the U.S. SEC regarding tender offer procedures, acknowledging potential conflicts between Indian and US regulations. The public announcement detailing the process, timelines, and other statutory information will be released in due course. The Board meeting commenced at 10:15 AM IST and concluded at 04:30 PM IST on April 23, 2026.
