Infosys plunged to a new 52-week low of ₹1,030 amid a broad IT sector correction sparked by Accenture's weaker revenue outlook. The stock has significantly underperformed benchmark indices due to concerns around slowing global IT spending, AI-driven industry disruption, geopolitical risks, and weakening demand visibility. Heavy selling pressure erased nearly ₹40,000 crore in market value as investors reassessed growth prospects for the sector.
Indian benchmark indices snapped a five-session winning streak on June 19, 2026, with Nifty closing at 24,013 and Sensex falling 607 points. Weak guidance from Accenture sparked a broad IT sector sell-off, while profit booking and renewed FII selling further weighed on sentiment. Pharma and Defence stocks provided some support amid the broader market weakness.
Indian IT stocks witnessed heavy selling pressure after Accenture trimmed its FY27 revenue growth forecast, triggering concerns over global technology spending. Nifty IT plunged more than 6%, while Infosys, TCS, HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, LTIMindtree, Persistent Systems, and Mphasis fell sharply. Despite strong quarterly results, Accenture's subdued outlook and concerns around discretionary IT spending weighed heavily on investor sentiment.
Vedanta Group's newly listed demerged entities bucked the broader market weakness, with Vedanta Iron and Steel emerging as the biggest winner after gaining 28% in just five sessions. The rally reflects growing investor confidence in the value-unlocking potential of Vedanta's landmark demerger, as the market begins assigning independent valuations to its aluminium, iron and steel, power, and oil and gas businesses.
Paras Defence and Space Technologies shares rallied more than 7% to a fresh 52-week high, significantly outperforming the broader market. The surge comes amid record Indian defence production of ₹1.78 lakh crore, growing optimism around a proposed ₹30,000 crore drone procurement programme, and strong technical indicators pointing to continued momentum. While defence sector tailwinds remain supportive, investors are also watching for signs of consolidation after the stock's stellar rally of more than 100% in 2026.
Indian IT stocks tumbled up to 8% after Accenture cut the upper end of its FY26 revenue growth guidance, signaling continued caution in enterprise technology spending. While AI, cloud, and cybersecurity investments remain strong, weakness in discretionary spending, slower deal conversions, and pressure on managed services bookings have raised concerns about near-term growth for Indian IT companies such as Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCLTech, Tech Mahindra, LTIMindtree, and Persistent Systems.
Indian benchmark indices ended higher for the fifth consecutive session as lower crude oil prices, easing geopolitical tensions, and optimism surrounding the India-UK Free Trade Agreement supported investor sentiment. Banking, realty, cement, and pharma stocks drove the rally, while IT stocks remained under pressure following hawkish US Federal Reserve commentary.
CDSL shares rose on positive investor sentiment driven by upcoming meetings with global institutional investors such as Citadel and Millennium Partners, robust financial performance, and SEBI's approval of key leadership appointments. The developments have strengthened confidence in the depository's growth prospects and governance framework.
The Indian stock market extended its winning streak on June 17, 2026, as Nifty closed above the crucial 24,000 mark and Sensex gained 347 points. Defence stocks emerged as top performers following record domestic defence production in FY26, while lower crude oil prices, hopes of a US-Iran peace deal, and positive global cues supported broad-based buying across sectors.
NSE Indices has expanded its portfolio by launching 11 new sectoral indices, raising the total to 34. The move improves sector tracking, supports ETFs, and reflects India’s economic diversification.
