Anisotropic emission of gravitational waves (GWs) from inspiralling compactbinaries leads to the loss of linear momentum and hence gravitational recoil ofthe system. The loss rate of linear momentum in the far-zone of the source (anonspinning binary system of black holes in quasicircular orbit) isinvestigated at the 2.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order and used to provide ananalytical expression in harmonic coordinates for the 2.5PN accurate recoilvelocity of the binary accumulated in the inspiral phase. We find that therecoil velocity at the end of the inspiral phase (i.e at the innermost stablecircular orbit (ISCO)) is maximum for a binary with symmetric mass ratio of\nu~0.2 and is roughly about ~4.58 km/s. Going beyond inspiral, we also providean estimate of the more important contribution to the recoil velocity from theplunge phase. Again the recoil velocity at the end of the plunge, involvingcontributions both from inspiral and plunge phase, is maximum for a binary with\nu~0.2 and is of the order of ~180 km/s.
