IT sector sees muted FY26 growth; recovery likely with AI adoption: Report

The Indian IT sector is experiencing subdued growth, with industry guidance and recent results pointing towards a muted outlook for FY26, though a recovery in FY27 is possible with recovery in key export markets and adoption of new technology. According to HSBC Global Research, near-term discretionary spending among clients remains weak, but there are signs of acceleration in the next fiscal year, especially as adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) among enterprises gathers pace. While the near-term demand environment remains soft and unchanged, FY27 is likely to see pick-up in demand driven by recovery in the US macro and increase in demand from IT companies looking to drive enterprise scale AI adoption, HSBC Global Research said. Key indicators show that the Indian IT sector has faced challenges related to global macroeconomic uncertainty, client cost optimisation, and delayed decision-making. Major Indian IT firms such as TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech reported healthy large deal .
