Nifty IT Rises 3%: Mphasis, TCS, HCLTech, Wipro Lead Rally on Weak Rupee

The Nifty IT Index rose nearly 2.5–3% on Tuesday, with all its stocks trading in the green.
Top gainers included:
- Mphasis share price up over 3%
- Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Persistent Systems share price up over 2%
- Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro share price gained over 1%
The broader Nifty 50 Index also rose around 1.2%.
Weak Rupee Boosts IT Stocks
A key reason for the rally is the fall in the Indian rupee.
- Rupee was trading near 93.88 per US dollar
- It recently hit a record low of 93.94
A weaker rupee benefits IT companies because they earn a large part of their revenue in US dollars, which improves their margins.
Positive Global Sentiment
Market sentiment improved after signs of easing tensions in West Asia.
- This supported global markets
- Crude oil prices also corrected, reducing inflation concerns
These factors helped boost buying in IT stocks.

Sector Still Under Pressure
Despite today’s rally, the IT sector has faced challenges:
- Slower growth outlook
- Weak demand visibility
- Less excitement compared to global AI-driven tech stocks
Conclusion
The sharp rise in IT stocks is driven by a weaker rupee and better global sentiment.
