NIFTY IT: 40,407.55 (-3.03%)

The IT index plays a significant role in the Nifty 50 index, as it includes several major technology companies that contribute heavily to Nifty’s overall performance. The Nifty IT index represents the performance of the top IT companies in India, like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, which have high market capitalizations and influence due to the size of the tech sector in the economy. Thus, fluctuations in IT stocks have a direct impact on the Nifty index, reflecting shifts in both tech-specific and broader economic trends.

The demand for AI technology is growing rapidly, integrating into almost every sector. Recently, Meta and Microsoft announced expected increases in AI-related expenses. Following this news, major Indian IT firms experienced stock declines, as sectors across the board brace for higher AI costs in the near future.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)  ₹3,975.00 (-2.68%) 
Infosys ₹1,762.95(-2.17%) 
Wipro₹553.10(-2.15%) 
HCL Technologies 1,772.50 (-3.61%)

Who Will Bear the Cost of Rising AI Expenses?

Large corporations might absorb some costs to remain competitive, but smaller companies could pass these on to customers through increased prices for AI-powered products and services. Investors may also see lower returns if companies allocate significant funds to AI infrastructure and development. This shift could affect market prices, with the IT sector most impacted by initial fluctuations​
