Dollar’s slide may help IT add 70–300 basis points to Q1 revenues

Currency is set to overshadow volumes as growth drivers in the June-quarter toplines at Indian tech powerhouses, with a falling dollar giving the anticipated tepid sales some much-needed ballast amid an evident revenue slack in the industry’s traditional money spinners either side of the Atlantic.

A retreat for the dollar, which gives the rupee a tailwind, should boost Indian tech revenues by 70-300 basis points in the June quarter, analysts said.

One basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point.
