Why Tech Stocks Are Rising: HCL Tech, Wipro, and More Fuel Market Rally

India’s tech sector is grabbing attention as IT stocks soar, helping major indices like the Sensex and Nifty reach new highs. The Sensex crossed the 80,000 mark for the first time since January, while the Nifty is trading steadily above 24,200. This marks the seventh consecutive session of gains.

What really stands out is the Nifty IT index, which surged over 3% in early trade. All 10 IT stocks in the index were in positive territory, with HCL Tech leading the way.

Top IT Stocks Driving the Rally

HCL Technologies was the star performer, jumping over 6% after posting strong Q4 results, including an 8% year-on-year profit growth. Tech Mahindra rose nearly 5%, while Coforge gained around 4.5%. MphasiS and LTIMindtree were also up by approximately 3.5%.

Other major IT names like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Persistent Systems, and OFSS saw gains between 2% and 3%.

3 Reasons Behind the IT Rally

1. Strong Q4 Results from HCL Tech

HCL Technologies posted better-than-expected Q4 earnings, with an 8% rise in net profit. It also secured $3 billion in new bookings during the quarter. This positive news boosted market confidence and overshadowed the cautious outlook previously given by companies like Infosys and TCS.

2. Positive Global Trends

Indian IT stocks are following the upbeat sentiment from global markets. US tech stocks rose after signs of easing trade tensions, especially following comments from Donald Trump about being more moderate with China. Since Indian IT firms rely heavily on global markets like the US, this global optimism is lifting sentiment.

3. FIIs Return to Indian Markets

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), who had recently pulled back, are showing renewed interest. As global risk appetite improves, they’re finding value again in India’s export-heavy IT sector, driving up demand for tech stocks.

This surge in IT stocks is not only powering up individual companies but also lifting the broader markets, reflecting strong investor confidence in the tech sector’s future.

Conclusion

The current momentum in the tech sector signals renewed investor confidence driven by strong earnings, positive global cues, and the return of FIIs. As Indian IT firms continue to show resilience and secure major deals, the sector may remain a key driver of market performance in the near term.
