Birlasoft Shares Jump Over 10% on October 23, 2025, Amid H-1B Visa Relief

Birlasoft shares gained more than 10% on Thursday, October 23, marking their biggest single-day rise since May 2021. The rally came amid heavy trading activity, with volumes reaching a four-month high as nearly 70 lakh shares changed hands compared to a 20-day average of 2.4 lakh.

Market Drivers Behind the Rally

The sharp uptick in Birlasoft’s stock price coincided with positive developments for Indian IT firms. If the momentum sustains, October could become the company’s first positive month after three consecutive months of losses.

H-1B Visa Clarification Boosts Sentiment

The surge in IT counters, including Birlasoft, may have been aided by a clarification from the Trump administration on H-1B visa rules. The announcement confirmed that the $100,000 fee will not apply to F-1 student visa holders, L-1 intra-company transferees, or current H-1B visa holders seeking renewals or extensions.

This move offers relief to Indian IT firms and professionals, who form the backbone of the H-1B program. There are around 300,000 Indian workers currently in the US on H-1B visas, accounting for nearly 70% of new allocations, followed by Chinese nationals at 11–12%.
