Wipro Announces Rs 15,000 Crore Share Buyback Amid Upcoming Tax Rule Changes

Wipro has announced its largest-ever Rs 15,000 crore share buyback at Rs 250 per share, offering existing shareholders a premium exit option through a tender offer. The company has yet to declare the record date. Experts suggest short-term investors may consider exiting, while long-term holders might benefit from Wipro's confidence in its AI-driven recovery. Concurrently, India's buyback tax rules will change from April 2026, shifting taxation from dividend to capital gains, affecting investors and promoters differently with new tax rates and deductions.
