Why Nifty IT Rose 3% Today: Infosys, Tech Mahindra and Wipro Lead the Rally

Information technology (IT) stocks were in strong demand on Friday, pushing the Nifty IT index up nearly 3% during intra-day trade. The rally was led by Infosys, whose quarterly performance boosted investor confidence across the sector.

At the same time, the benchmark Nifty 50 rose modestly, highlighting that IT stocks were the main drivers of the market’s gains.

Infosys Emerges as the Key Trigger

Infosys shares jumped around 5% after the company reported steady sequential growth in the December quarter. Growth was supported by the healthcare segment, large deal ramp-ups, and strong momentum in big contract wins, despite the quarter being seasonally weak.

The company also raised its FY26 revenue growth guidance to 3%–3.5%, indicating improved demand visibility and stronger execution.

Broad-Based Gains Across IT Stocks

The rally was not limited to Infosys alone. Several large and mid-sized IT companies moved higher:

• Tech Mahindra and LTIMindtree gained around 4%
• Mphasis and Oracle Financial Services rose close to 5%
• TCS, Wipro, HCL Technologies, Coforge and Persistent Systems advanced 2–3%

Even non-index IT stocks such as Birlasoft, KPIT Technologies, Hexaware and Mastek climbed between 3% and 5%.

Strong Deal Wins and AI Focus Boost Confidence

Infosys is currently working on thousands of AI-led projects and has positioned itself as a preferred AI partner for several large global banks.
