The S&P BSE IT Index opened Friday’s session in positive territory, rising 0.51% to 28,773.7 as of early morning trade. The gain is largely intraday in nature — the index has shed 1.6% over the past 30 days and is down 21.4% compared to the same period last year, reflecting a sustained period of underperformance for the IT sector relative to broader market expectations.
The BSE Sensex, by contrast, declined 1.22% to 74,352.2 during the same window, suggesting that the IT sector’s morning uptick is a relative outlier rather than a broad market rally.
