Infosys, the country’s second largest information technology company, has of late increased its focus on business originating within the country, an area where it substantially lags Tata Consultancy Services, the largest.

It has won four deals from the government in the past two quarters, pushing up India’s share in its total revenue from 1.3 per cent to 2 per cent. It has just bagged a pilot project to roll out an Integrated Coach Management System for Indian Railways and is eyeing another in the same area. It has also bid for a deal with state-owned telecom behemoth Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd and an ERP implementation project for the Indian Air Force.

In a falling market, the company’s stock closed 1.5 per cent lower today on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Infosys has been working in the government services area in India for the past one and a half years. It is also active in the Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme.
