The BSE IT index, a gauge for the performance of leading tech companies, saw its biggest decline in nearly two years of 4.76 per cent, after disappointing earnings posted by Infosys triggered a broad-base sell-off. The Nifty IT index fell 4.6 per cent.

Shares of Infosys closed 7.3 per cent lower at Rs
