Indian IT sector to see mixed Q1FY26 performance; mid-tier firms to outpace tier-1: Report
New Delhi [India], July 5 (ANI): The Indian Information and Technology (IT) sector will deliver a mixed performance in the first quarter of Financial Year (FY) 2026, with tier-1 companies likely to post muted revenue growth, while mid-tier firms are set to outperform, according to a report by HDFC Securities. The report further added that despite ongoing global economic uncertainty and subdued discretionary spending due to US tariff measures and broader macroeconomic challenges, the deterioration in demand has been lower than initially anticipated. This has allowed companies to maintain their full-year FY26 guidance. 'There is a huge cross-currency tailwind in the quarter which will result in strong USD growth QoQ,' the report added. 'Factors such as US tariff measures and broader macroeconomic challenges may limit discretionary spending, but the demand deterioration has been lower vs expectation at the start of the quarter,' the report added. The report added that the deal pipeline remains robust for the IT firms, particularly in areas like cost optimization, infrastructure modernization, and AI initiatives. Generative AI remains a significant growth driver, with many companies moving beyond proof-of-concept (PoC) to full-scale deployments -- a trend underscored by Accenture's recent strong Gen AI bookings, the report added. The report stated that a major cross-currency tailwind which is estimated between 50 to 300 basis points, will aid the sector's reported revenue growth in USD terms for Q1. However, in constant currency terms, tier-1 players are expected to show a revenue growth range of -2.8 per cent to +1.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), and -3.4 per cent to +4.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY). In contrast, mid-tier IT firms are forecast to deliver stronger results, with QoQ CC growth ranging from +3.7 per cent to -3.4 per cent. However, some mid-tier firms are likely to face headwinds, the report added. The HDFC Securities report expressed confidence in the sector and added that despite near-term pressures, the sector continues to see a robust deal pipeline. As the sector navigates economic headwinds and changing client priorities, Q1FY26 earnings will provide critical insights into the strength and resilience of India's IT services industry. (ANI)

Centre urges consumers to use only Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certified helmets for safety
New Delhi [India], July 5 (ANI): The Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India, and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) appeal to consumers across the country to use only BIS-certified helmets. Additionally, the Department has called for strict enforcement against the manufacture or sale of helmets without BIS certification, a press release said With over 21 crore two-wheelers on Indian roads, rider safety is paramount. While wearing a helmet is mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, its effectiveness depends on quality. Sub-standard helmets compromise protection and defeat their purpose. To address this, a Quality Control Order has been in force since 2021, mandating ISI-marked helmets certified under BIS standards (IS 4151:2015) for all two-wheeler riders. As of June 2025, there are 176 manufacturers across India holding valid BIS licenses for protective helmets. The Department has observed that many helmets sold on roadsides lack the mandatory BIS certification, posing significant risks to consumers and numerous fatalities in road accidents. Therefore, there is an urgent need to tackle this issue head-on. To enforce quality standards, BIS conducts regular factory and market surveillance. In the last financial year, over 500 helmet samples were tested and more than 30 search-and-seizure operations were carried out for misuse of the BIS Standard Mark. In one Delhi operation, over 2,500 non-compliant helmets were seized from nine manufacturers with expired or cancelled licences. Similar action at 17 retail and roadside locations led to the seizure of around 500 substandard helmets, with legal proceedings underway. In a bid to enhance road safety and protect consumers from substandard helmets, the Department of Consumer Affairs had written to District Collectors (DCs) and District Magistrates (DMs) to launch a nationwide campaign targeting manufacturers and retailers who sell non-compliant helmets for two-wheeler riders. This initiative was a response to the growing concerns over the quality of helmets available in the market and their critical role in safeguarding lives on the road. The Department had urged district officials to take a personal interest in this matter and launch a special campaign to ensure the enforcement of the Quality Control Order, integrating the drive with existing road safety campaigns to maximise its impact. BIS branch offices were instructed to engage continuously with district administrations and police departments to support this campaign. The results were encouraging, particularly in the Delhi NCR region, and the campaign is spreading to other regions too. Earlier this year, BIS Chennai team organised a successful roadshow distributing ISI-marked helmets and conducted an awareness campaign in partnership with local traffic authorities to promote adherence to safety regulations. The campaign is amplified through various media channels, social media outreach, and civil society collaborations, raising awareness about safety through ISI-marked Protective helmets. Making it convenient for consumers, BIS has added a provision on the BIS Care App and BIS portal to check whether a helmet manufacturer is licensed or not, and also allows users to lodge a complaint on the BIS Care App. As part of a nationwide consumer awareness initiative, BIS organises the Quality Connect campaign, where 'Manak Mitra' volunteers are engaging directly with consumers to provide information on mandatory certification for helmets and other products. The Department of Consumer Affairs underscores the government's commitment to consumer protection and road safety. By removing sub-standard helmets from the market, the Department aims to prevent avoidable road accident fatalities and promote high-quality safety gear. (ANI)
