AI, transformation-led deals likely to fuel IT M&As: Experts

As the technology services industry navigates another year of business drought, AI, engineering and transformation-led projects are likely to fuel the appetite for acquisitions, experts say. Since the beginning of 2024, Infosys—India's second largest IT major— has made four acquisitions in engineering R&D and semiconductor design services space, including two announced in April in cybersecurity and energy consulting areas. Its smaller rivals HCLTech and Wipro acquired two firms each while LTIMindtree purchased in December. These came after a lull of almost no acquisitions in 2023.

'This is a throwback to digital era when most service providers acquired a number of agencies and digital specialists. This will happen and continue over next 3-5 years.' According to data platform Tracxn, Infosys ' most active year in terms of acquisitions was 2015 with five acquisitions, while Wipro's was 2020 with six cumulative acquisitions. Over the past three years, both Bengaluru-headquartered IT majors averaged nearly one acquisition per year, it said. Bellwether TCS is the only exception with no acquisitions announced since 2020.

Analysts believe that industry players with higher cash reserves could eye building expertise and also scale up inorganic route amid continuing caution around tariff-led impact on organic business demand. 'We are in a period where IT majors need to execute on a dual mandate of perform and transform,' said Prashant Shukla, vice president at technology-focused research and advisory firm Everest Group. He said while conventional thinking would suggest a cautious approach to acquisitions in FY26 amid mounting margin pressures and uncertainty (balance short-term performance), some companies are using this as an opportunity to acquire assets cheaper for their capability 'transform' efforts. According to other experts, this is also a period when mid-cap companies have been outperforming the larger peers and could be readying for consolidation. 'Tier-1 IT companies have been lagging on growth and commentary. But our mid-cap IT players have actually shown more agility in their thought process leadership… they are representing a very different market outlook,' said Shobhit Jain, MD and head, enterprise, technology & services for investment banking at Avendus Capital. In the broader market, M&A remains an important theme across the board. 'Even when companies have exhibited flat growth, we have not traded any asset below a 3x revenue multiple over the last 3-4 years, and I don't see that changing,' the banker said, adding that private equity is also getting aggressive in doing M&A. As per consulting major EY, enterprise tech M&A hit 857 deals globally in 2024, up from 722, with values rising to $32.2 billion. 'M&A is strategic to Wipro. When we have the right opportunity and it falls into our strategic priorities, we go for it. We are constantly looking for an opportunity around that which will help us drive our strategic priority. That is something that is part of inorganic growth for the future as well,' Srinivas Pallia, CEO and MD of Wipro Ltd, told media persons in a post-results conference in April. Largest global player Accenture, which is typically big on acquisitions, continued its streak taking the total acquisitions to 11 deploying $500 million since September, including investments in the talent and skilling space, a key segment for technology services firms. US-headquartered Cognizant, with a large workforce in India, made two bets during the past year adding to its inorganic growth. Among bigger deals, Capgemini is said to be in advanced talks to acquire business process outsourcing (BPO) specialist firm WNS. The companies did not respond to requests for comment.

In relief for Delhiites, govt to soon waive ‘pending, inflated' water bills: Minister

In a major relief to residents of the national capital, the Delhi government is soon going to waive 'pending, inflated' water bills, along with the late payment surcharge, Water Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh said Monday. Addressing a press conference on the BJP completing 100 days in power and the achievements of his departments, he said, 'A scheme to waive all domestic water bills is under preparation and it will be implemented soon. Once it is launched, all domestic water bills will be reduced by around 90%…' 'But until this scheme is officially launched, I have already said that if someone hasn't paid their bill, their connection won't be disconnected for now. The people of Delhi are aware that the government is bringing a new scheme, so everyone is waiting for it… So, until the bill payments are sorted out — and right now there are some technical issues — once that is resolved and the scheme is launched, it will reduce the inflated and pending bills up to 90%,' he added. He said that, currently, the software being used by the Delhi Jal Board was developed and maintained by Wipro. 'Their lease period has already ended, and they have been given an extension… the company has refused to make any further changes to the current system… Once this is resolved, the scheme will be launched,' he said. Sources said that under this scheme, the focus will be on waiving the Late Payment Surcharge (LPSC) of domestic bills. 'LPSC charges are calculated at 18% interest plus compounding charges,' said sources. Currently, in the domestic category, the outstanding bill amount is approximately Rs 12,000 to Rs 13,000 crore, out of which Rs 7,000 crore is LPSC. 'If we waive that, we will still be able to recover at least Rs 5,000 to Rs 6,000 crore,' said sources. 'Because several residents have not paid their bills for the past 8-9 years, this is an incentive for them to pay the principal amount. Once LPSC is waived, the government will rationalise the bills and give a timeline to the people to pay the principal amount. They will be asked to pay the bills in three to four months. No more extensions or schemes will come after this,' said sources. Besides, the minister also said that the government plans to upgrade the water billing system to address the challenges of revenue losses. According to officials, Delhi has approximately 29 lakh water connections. As per the 2011 census, Delhi has 34 lakh households. Last year, the previous AAP government also announced a one-time settlement scheme for pending water bills ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, claiming that it would benefit around 12 lakh consumers, of which 7 lakh will not have to pay any amount. However, the scheme hit a roadblock after the Finance Department raised questions and said that it would lead to financial implications. It said that the benefits of the scheme should not be given to the consumers who have not paid the bills for the last 11 years.
