Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian IT stocks rose on 15 October 2026 after a global sell-off in AI-linked stocks, which investors call the anti-AI trade or reverse AI trade, and Nifty IT gained about 2% to 30,762.35. The index is up roughly 8% over three sessions, with Tech Mahindra, HCLTech, TCS and Infosys among the leaders. The trigger was a hotter US inflation reading that raised bets on Federal Reserve rate hikes and cast doubt on AI spending plans, while good results from HCLTech and TCS added support. Whether investors should buy more depends on how long the rotation lasts, because the same AI fears that hurt Indian IT stocks earlier have not gone away.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

For most of this year, Indian IT stocks were treated as victims of artificial intelligence, since investors feared that AI tools would cut the work that outsourcing firms bill for. On Thursday the trade flipped, as a fall in AI chip and infrastructure shares sent money looking for other places to go.<\/p>\n

This guide explains the anti-AI trade, the price moves in the main Indian IT stocks, what drove the day, how experts and brokerages frame the opportunity, the risks and what to watch next. I flag what I could not verify, including the full list of experts behind the headline.<\/p>\n

The question in the headline is whether to buy more, and the honest answer is that it depends on your time frame, so the sections below lay out both sides.<\/p>\n
