Indian IT Stocks Drag Down Equities on Growth Concerns

Indian equity benchmarks suffered a setback as concerns over the growth prospects in the technology sector led to a significant decline in IT stocks on Wednesday. Market sentiment was affected by the dip in major IT shares, contributing to broader market jitters. Investors also exhibited caution ahead of the release of key economic data later in the week, which could provide insights into the likelihood of interest rate cuts in the current year.
