India's IT Sector Anticipates Muted Q2 Growth Amid Pricing and Geopolitical Pressures
India's IT sector is expected to report muted revenue growth and stable margins in Q2 FY27 amid pricing pressures, cautious client spending, and geopolitical uncertainties. Large-cap firms may see modest growth up to 2%, while mid-cap companies could outperform. AI-driven pricing deflation and slow deal conversions are key challenges, though AI-related deals offer some offset. Valuations have declined to multi-year lows, reflecting market concerns, but strong bookings and cash flows provide support. Recovery prospects depend on execution and improved client budgets in the second half of the fiscal year.
