# India's IT index falls to three-year low on weak earnings outlook, demand worries

May 12 (Reuters) - India's Nifty IT index tumbled 3.6% on Tuesday to ‌its lowest level since May ‌2023, as a weak earnings outlook and fears ​of slowing demand for traditional IT services rattled investors.

Analysts at HSBC said in a Tuesday note that fourth-quarter earnings ‌and fiscal ⁠2027 outlooks from India's top-tier IT firms largely missed expectations, ⁠adding that strong global artificial intelligence spending could be "crowding out" spending on traditional ​IT services.

HSBC's ​warning comes ​a day after ‌OpenAI said it is launching a new company backed by more than $4 billion to help organisations build and deploy AI.

In February, global IT stocks saw a ‌rout after Anthropic ​launched new tools that ​heightened concerns ​about AI-driven disruption in the ‌data and professional services ​industry.

On Tuesday, ​shares of Indian IT companies including Tata Consultancy Services , Infosys , HCL Technologies ​and ‌Wipro fell between 2.5% and 4%.
