Infosys seeks to secure entire export earnings

Our Bureau

Mumbai , April 22

THE billion-dollar Infosys Technologies currently has only $203 million of export receivables secured with a forward cover for exchange rate risk and would like to secure its entire export earnings with such cover. But the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) regulations do not allow for this and so the company is seeking some regulatory changes from the latter.

``We are discussions with RBI on this,'' said Mr. Nandan Nilekani, Managing Director, CEO and President, Infosys Technologies, at a news conference here today.

When Infosys converted its earnings guidance in dollar terms for the current financial year into rupee value, it had taken into account a conversion rate of Rs 43.4 to the dollar, said Mr. Nilekani.
