Indian IT stocks witnessed strong buying interest on 28 July, with the Nifty IT Index climbing nearly 3% after a robust overnight rally in US-listed software and IT services companies.

The rally reflected improving global sentiment toward the technology sector, as investors shifted their focus from semiconductor stocks to software and IT services companies.

Nifty IT Extends Its Rally

The Nifty IT Index rose around 3% to 29,535, extending gains for the second consecutive trading session.

The previous session had already seen the index close nearly 1% higher, indicating renewed momentum in the sector.

What Triggered the Rally?

The primary catalyst came from the US technology market.

During overnight trading, several leading global software companies posted strong gains

• Accenture ▲ 4.8%
• EPAM Systems ▲ 4.8%
• Gartner ▲ 5%
• Globant ▲ 4%
• Cognizant ▲ 3.5%

These gains significantly outperformed the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which faced profit booking and underperformed during the session.

The shift suggests investors are once again favouring software and IT services companies over semiconductor stocks.

Why This Matters for Indian IT Stocks

Indian IT companies generate a significant share of their revenue from North America.

When major US technology and software companies perform well, it often improves investor confidence in India's IT sector as well.
