Indian IT stocks rally: Why TCS, Infosys, Wipro are rising as global AI stocks plunge
Indian IT stocks like TCS and Infosys are rallying despite a global downturn in semiconductor and AI-related stocks. Investors are showing skepticism toward the AI sector's immediate profitability, leading to a shift in market sentiment.
Why it matters

HCLTech gained 2.3% to Rs 1,350 and Wipro added 2.2% to Rs 185.
