TCS, HCL Tech, Tata Elxsi, Route Mobile to Tech Mahindra: IT stocks dip up to 3% | Here's why
Indian IT stocks fell up to 3% on Friday even as the broader market traded higher. TCS, HCL Tech, Tata Elxsi, Route Mobile and Tech Mahindra all slipped. Experts say the Bank of Japan's rate hike is pressuring the US dollar, and since these companies earn in dollars, their rupee income may shrink. Watch currency moves before acting.
Key Statutory Highlights
- TCS shares opened lower at ₹2,177.20 on the NSE and fell over 3% during Friday's session.
- HCL Tech and Tata Elxsi dropped more than 2%, Route Mobile fell about 2.50% and Tech Mahindra declined around 2%.
- Market experts say the Bank of Japan's rate hike is expected to pressure US Treasury yields and the US dollar, which could lower the rupee value of IT exporters' dollar earnings.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold Indian IT stocks, treat Friday's fall as a currency-driven move for now. Check your holdings with a certified financial expert before you buy or sell, and avoid panic decisions on one day's dip.
