MUMBAI (Reuters) - HCL Technologies Ltd , India's fourth-largest software services exporter by revenue, reported a 8 percent fall in quarterly net profit on Monday, but met street estimates as its core manufacturing clients added more projects.
Revenue in dollar terms rose 8 percent to $1.54 billion. In September, HCL Tech said its revenue in U.S. dollars would have adverse impact of 80 bps on a sharp depreciation of multiple currencies against the dollar.
HCL is part of a $150-billion Indian outsourcing sector that generate the bigger part of its sales by providing services like IT network installation and development of software applications to Western clients.
