Indian IT Services See Mixed Growth Amid AI Disruption and Market Challenges

Analysed 17 Jul 2026·4 sources analysed·India·Business
Indian IT Services See Mixed Growth Amid AI Disruption and Market ChallengesPreviousNext

Indian IT services face mixed prospects amid AI-driven changes and market challenges. Crisil Ratings projects muted revenue growth of 1-3% this fiscal due to AI disruptions, weak client spending, and geopolitical uncertainties, with modest recovery expected later. Conversely, Equirus Securities highlights strong AI-led growth potential, forecasting public cloud spending to reach $17.5 billion by 2026 and expanding Global Capability Centres. Meanwhile, industry leaders like TCS and HCL Tech report slow revenue growth and workforce reductions as AI adoption reshapes traditional service models.
