Fears of possible recession in the US led to investors selling off heavily Indian IT companies’ stocks in a weak market and blue-chips like TCS, Infosys and Wipro plunged sharply on the bourses.
The country’s largest IT exporter TCS was trading 5.7 per cent down at Rs 1,034 in mid-day trade, while Infosys was also down 5.5 per cent at Rs 2,559.60.
Among other IT majors, Wipro was down 3.6 per cent at Rs 362.20. The three IT stocks were among the biggest losers in the Sensex pack.
The US is among the biggest markets for Indian IT companies and any trouble in the American economy is considered a big negative for them.
HCL Tech, Mphasis, Patni Computer and Tech Mahindra stocks were also down by 3-7 per cent.
