Indian IT Sector Faces Muted Q2 Growth Amid AI Pressure and Client Caution
Indian IT companies are expected to report muted revenue growth in Q2 FY27 amid AI-driven pricing pressures, cautious client spending, and macroeconomic uncertainties. Large firms like TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech face subdued demand and AI-related deflation, while mid-tier companies such as Persistent Systems and Coforge are projected to outperform. Currency fluctuations and acquisitions may partially offset challenges. The sector remains sensitive to US economic trends, with earnings announcements scheduled in October amid ongoing investor caution and sector underperformance.
