Nifty IT Fell to Its Lowest Level Since April 2023 on July 1, 2026 

Before the recovery on July 2, 2026, the Nifty IT index had declined for 4 consecutive sessions, falling to an intraday low of 25,699.10 on July 1, 2026, its lowest level since April 2023, before closing 2.73% lower at 26,299 on June 30, 2026. 

The IT sector has remained under pressure in 2026, with the Nifty IT index declining around 30% year-to-date, making it the weakest-performing sectoral index during the first half of calendar year 2026. In comparison, the Nifty 50 declined around 9% over the same period. 

From its record high of 46,089, reached on December 13, 2024, the Nifty IT index has corrected approximately 43%.  

The decline has been attributed to multiple factors, including global macroeconomic uncertainty, subdued technology spending, concerns over earnings growth and valuations, and the evolving impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the IT services industry.

What Triggered the IT Stock Recovery on July 2, 2026? 

The recovery in Indian IT stocks was supported by an improvement in global technology sentiment as investors rotated from relatively expensive artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and semiconductor stocks into comparatively lower-valued IT services companies. 

Earlier this week, technology stocks across Asia and the US came under selling pressure amid concerns that the AI investment cycle could be overheating. In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index declined sharply, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each fell more than 8% in a single session. In the US, chipmakers Micron Technology and SanDisk also declined by more than 10%. 

Against this backdrop, investors shifted their focus toward IT services companies, contributing to the rebound in Indian IT stocks on July 2, 2026. 

Conclusion 

The Nifty IT index witnessed a sharp rebound on July 2, 2026, recovering after 4 consecutive sessions of declines. Buying interest was broad-based, with gains across large-cap stocks such as Infosys, HCLTech, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro, alongside strength in several mid-cap IT companies.
