The Nifty IT index was over 1 percent down, with Tata Consultancy Services the worst hit among large names, falling 3 percent, while HCL Technologies, Infosys and Coforge each declined 2 percent. Oracle Financial Services Software was the sole gainer among the sectoral index&#8217;s constituents, with every other IT stock in the red in early trade.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nifty IT stocks fell sharply on Friday after shares of AI infrastructure-related companies rose on Wall Street overnight, a shift that appeared to draw investor interest away from traditional IT services names and toward

with the broader Nifty IT index down over 1 percent as nearly every constituent traded in the red.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a

on Wall Street, it can signal to global investors that capital is rotating toward that specific theme, sometimes at the expense of more traditional technology services businesses like India&#8217;s large IT exporters.<\/p>\n<p>Indian IT services companies, whose revenue largely comes from providing outsourced technology and consulting services to global clients rather than building AI infrastructure themselves, can see sentiment sour in the short term when the market&#8217;s attention and capital shift decisively toward the infrastructure side of the AI story instead.<\/p>\n<table
