India’s threatened IT service industry, which is plagued by the comprehensive economic upheaval and AI-operated deflation, is leading to a slight improvement with a continuous growth rate of 4-5% annually, which has crossed the slow trend of the last three years. Analysts estimate that this increase will be up to FY 27, and they are relying on a decrease in global instability to reduce pricing pressure, although there is no rapid change in the near future.

Problems in this region will persist till the second quarter of FY 26, where the demand will remain slow between uncertainties and the cost of artificial intelligence. The report warns, “Global challenges will reduce pricing pressure, but improvement is not possible by FY 27.” The growth rate of the second quarter is estimated to be similar to the sluggish speed of the first quarter. This trajectory seller rests on integration and cost-compulsion agreements-deals that HSBC calls “zero-yoga sports” that reshuffle the workload without pure expansion.

Historical obstacles further increase the challenge: FY 24 and FY25 declined the market share of global capacity centers (GCC), while FY 26 faced AI deflation and uncertain macros. Despite the strengthening of corporate income in the US, companies are curbing discretionary expenses and preventing new projects. In terms of dollars, large companies such as TCS and Infosys are expecting a gradual quarter growth, while middle-level companies may reach a 5.5% increase in a decline of -1%.

HSBC recommends ‘purchasing’ on select IT stocks, but weakens long-term optimism: these blue-chip companies are no longer “five years of purchase-and-line compound machines”, which require strategic strategy to deal with cycles and instability. The company reduced the target-as TCS reduced the target from Rs 3,665 to Rs 3,260-which shows the weak estimates of 3-4% revenue growth of FY 26.

As AI is giving a new shape to outsourcing dynamics, India’s $ 254 billion IT export engine (FY25) will have to innovate to gain momentum. Along with being at the stake of 54 lakh jobs, stakeholders are urging policy incentives in skills and research and development. FY 27 4-5% of the band indicates stability, not rapid-yet is a significant twist towards flexibility in the digital world.
