NEW DELHI: Optimism is returning for India’s information-technology companies as easing odds of a recession in the US and the emergence of artificial intelligence as a potential new source of revenue drive a rebound in their stocks.
The NSE Nifty IT Index has climbed 18% from an April low, adding about $46 billion in market value. The 10-member gauge has turned the rally up a notch in July, and is on track to outperform the MSCI World Information Technology Index for the first time in seven months.
