Wipro Limited has issued a public announcement regarding its buyback offer for equity shares. The company plans to buy back up to 60,00,00,000 (Sixty Crore) fully paid-up equity shares, each with a face value of ₹2. The buyback will be conducted at a price of ₹250 per equity share, payable in cash. The total aggregate amount for this buyback is up to ₹1,50,00,00,000 (Rupees Fifteen Thousand Crore). This buyback represents up to 5.72% of the total equity share capital.
The buyback will be carried out on a proportionate basis through the tender offer route, in compliance with Indian regulations, including the Companies Act, 2023, and SEBI (Buy Back of Securities) Regulations, 2018. The record date for determining the eligible shareholders for the buyback is June 5, 2026. The buyback size is significant, representing 24.99% and 19.99% of the company's fully paid-up equity share capital and free reserves as per the latest audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026.
For holders of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) traded on the NYSE, participation requires them to become direct shareholders before the Record Date. This involves surrendering their ADSs to the Depositary for cancellation and withdrawing the underlying equity shares by June 2, 2026, 12:00 noon New York City time. Holders must also establish a DR type demat account in India to receive the withdrawn equity shares. The buyback price offers a premium to the market price of both ADSs and equity shares.
