Share Buyback or share repurchase is when a company buys its own outstanding shares to reduce the number of shares available on the open market. Companies buy back shares for a number of reasons, such as to increase the value of remaining shares available by reducing the supply or to prevent other shareholders from taking a controlling stake. As the number of outstanding shares get reduced upon a share buyback, the share value as well as earnings per share increase.

At the current price of Rs. 10,117.8, the company's buyback offers a premium of 8.7 percent.
