Summary

  • Infosys sank 8.7% in Mumbai and Tata Consultancy Services fell as much as 6.5% on Friday, sending Indian software stocks sharply lower.
  • Accenture triggered the selloff after forecasting slower revenue growth, reinforcing worries about weakening demand across the global IT services sector.
  • Infosys also tracked a 10% overnight drop in its US-listed shares, while Asian peers including NEC and BayCurrent declined in the broader tech retreat.
  • The latest slide deepens a brutal year for the sector, which has already lost nearly 30% of its market value.
