Shares of Wipro gained more than 2 percent intraday on April 10 after SEBI approved a buyback worth Rs 12,000 crore, the company's largest till date.

According to a report in The Economic Times, the price set for the buyback is Rs 320 a piece, which is 33 percent higher than the six-month average share price of Rs 240.

At 1058 hours, Wipro was quoting at Rs 279.50, up 2.19 percent on the BSE.
