Nifty IT Index Slides 2.5% At 10:15 AM As Tech Stocks Face Heavy Selling

Nifty IT’s extended fall comes despite broader market strength, with the Sensex and Nifty 50 trading higher. The sector is under pressure as investors react to muted earnings guidance from leading IT firms and global uncertainties impacting technology demand.

Sector Performance

The Nifty IT index, which tracks India’s top technology companies, slipped 2.5% in morning trade. TCS shares dropped 2.25% after reporting modest growth in Q4 FY26, while other IT majors also faced selling pressure. The weakness highlights investor caution around global IT spending trends.

Market Context

While the broader Nifty 50 was near 23,900 points, supported by gains in banking and infrastructure stocks, IT counters remained laggards. Analysts note that concerns over US–Iran tensions and global demand slowdown are weighing on sentiment in export-driven IT companies.

Investor Outlook

Market experts suggest that IT stocks may continue to face volatility in the near term, with earnings guidance and global macroeconomic cues being key drivers. Traders are advised to monitor upcoming results from Infosys and Wipro for further clarity on sectoral trends.
