KPIT Technologies has dipped 7% to Rs 192 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) after the information technology (IT) company said that the revenue growth in dollar terms is expected to be muted in January-March 2015 quarter (Q4 FY15), mainly due to significant negative cross currency impact.
“The revenues for the fourth quarter of FY15 will be flat as compared to the revenue of Q3FY15 in the reported USD number, mainly due to significant negative cross currency impact,” KPIT Technologies said in a statement.
For the whole year the cross currency impact will be more than 1% of the annual revenues. Thus the revenue guidance for FY15 will be met on constant currency terms but will be proportionately lower in terms of USD reported revenue, it added.

The company remains positive about the growth prospects for FY16 and beyond.
