After COVID-19 several IT contracts are approaching renewal which is an opportunity for India’s leading IT firms. Contracts like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) deals with Star Alliance and Nielsen Infosys agreements with GE Appliances and Daimler HCLTechs partnership with UK-based insurer Chesnara Wipros engagements with German utility E.ON and Brazil’s Petrobras and Tech Mahindras deal with Circle Health.
Many of these contracts were signed during the Covid-19 pandemic with tenures of 3–5 years but may not follow a renewal process. According to media reports clients are likely to invite competitive bids increasing pressure on current IT companies.
For example Infosys is working to integrate AI capabilities into its $3 billion deal with Daimler to extend the partnership beyond 2028. Wipro and L&T Technology Services have recently won new deals with Phoenix Group and a European automaker. This shows how IT companies are putting lots of efforts to sustain their current clients and renew contracts for more periods.
TCS renewed two five-year contracts in Q4 FY25 one was for Norway’s DNB Bank for next-generation banking innovations and another one was with Coop Danmark for a digital transformation initiative.
