Infosys Shares Plunge 20% in February, Eye Worst Monthly Fall in 13 Years

In February 2026, Infosys shares faced a dramatic slide, falling more than 20% over the month, the steepest drop the company has seen in over a decade. This sell-off wiped out huge amounts of value and shook investor confidence. We from the markets team want to unpack what happened, why it matters, and what it means going forward. By the end of February, the stock closed around ₹1,3,0,8, a far cry from its recent highs. The decline has sent shockwaves through India’s IT sector and broader stock market. It is one of the worst monthly falls for Infosys since at least 2013.
