The rebound was driven by strength in Infosys, which announced that its board will meet on 11 September 2025 to consider a share buyback proposal. Expectations of a potential US Federal Reserve rate cut also supported sentiment.
Analysts, however, cautioned that foreign investor flows remain muted, limiting prospects of a sustained rally. They added that while local policy support offers near-term relief, earnings outlook for the sector remains subdued given slower deal wins and muted demand from global clients.
The US Federal Reserve is scheduled to meet on September 16-17, with markets increasingly expecting a 50-basis point rate cut. A reduction in rates could boost discretionary spending in the US, which remains the largest revenue contributor for Indian IT companies.
