September 2025 Highlights: IPO Frenzy, Cricket Wins, and Infosys Buyback

September was a busy month on InfoDial India. We saw a solar‑pump IPO explode, the women’s cricket team lock in a warm‑up victory, and a tech giant plan a big share buyback. Below is a quick run‑through of what mattered most, so you can stay in the loop without digging through endless articles.

IPO Spotlight: GK Energy’s Record Demand

GK Energy went public with a Rs 464‑crore offer and the market went wild. The issue was oversubscribed 93.58‑times overall, with retail investors snapping up shares at a 21.78‑times rate. That kind of appetite pushed the Grey Market Premium up to about 20%, signaling strong bullish sentiment.

Angel One’s research team gave a clear ‘Subscribe’ call, pointing to a 23.3‑times P/E and a solid order book. The company sits in the solar‑powered water pump niche, a sector the Indian government is actively promoting. For anyone eyeing renewable‑energy stocks, GK Energy’s debut is a clear sign that investors are hungry for green growth stories.

Sports & Stocks: Cricket Warm‑up and Infosys Buyback

On the sporting front, India’s women’s cricket side traveled to Dubai for two warm‑up matches before the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. A comfortable 141/8 win over West Indies, highlighted by Jemimah Rodrigues’ half‑century, set a confident tone. A follow‑up game against South Africa helped fine‑tune the line‑up ahead of the Group A clash with New Zealand on October 4.

While the cricketers were polishing their game, Infosys was polishing its balance sheet. The board announced a potential share buyback on September 11, 2025. Analysts expect a tender offer worth between Rs 10,000 crore and Rs 14,000 crore, priced at an 18‑25% premium to the market. This would be Infosys’s fifth major buyback and the first done via tender after open‑market buybacks were phased out in April 2025.

The move comes as the IT sector faces headwinds, with foreign portfolio investors pulling out and the stock down about 28% from its peak. A buyback at a premium could boost confidence, give shareholders a quick return, and signal that the company believes its shares are undervalued.

Putting the pieces together, September offered a clear narrative: investors are chasing high‑growth renewable stories, Indian sports are gaining momentum on the world stage, and blue‑chip tech firms are using buybacks to shore up shareholder value. Whether you’re tracking market trends, following cricket, or managing a portfolio, these three stories give you a solid snapshot of where things stood at the end of the month.
