Tata Consultancy Services Ltd up 2.7 per cent, Infosys gains 1.4 per cent, Wipro up 1.9 per cent, HCL Technologies rises 3.3 per cent and Tech Mahindra surges 2.3 per cent.

Accenture reported a better-than-expected 7.5 per cent rise in quarterly net revenue, led by a rebound in demand for its consulting services, where it competes with Indian IT companies.
