Coforge to top $2 billion revenue target, CEO says
Indian mid-tier IT services firm Coforge is betting that a healthy order book will help it top the $2 billion revenue target for the financial year 2027, chief executive Sudhir Singh said. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Missiles, shelling, and attacks — here's all that's happening Pakistani Air Force jet shot down in Pathankot by Indian Air Defence: Sources India on high alert: What's shut, who's on leave, and state-wise emergency measures The company snagged a 13-year contract valued at $1.56 billion from US-based travel technology provider Sabre Corp in the previous quarter. That came at a time when larger rivals struggled to secure mega deals as macroeconomic uncertainties and tariff risks weighed on the Indian IT sector. Coforge's revenues for the last fiscal year stood at $1.45 billion. "If all we've done in FY27 is $2 billion, then I'll be really disappointed," CEO Singh said in an interview on Tuesday. "Our next 12-month signed order book is 47.7% higher than where it was at the same time last year. Even if half the world breaks apart, we can still grow very strongly," he said. Live Events Despite the high level of uncertainty, Singh is hopeful that tech spending cannot go down in areas where it is "structural in nature".

The company gets nearly 30% of its revenue from banking and financial services, 19% from insurance and 18% from travel, transportation and hospitality. The IT firm's revenue grew about 33.8% in the fiscal year ending March, and it is relying on steady organic growth this year. "I don't see organic growth slowing in any shape or manner in FY26," Singh said. Coforge had an estimated organic growth of 16.4% last fiscal year, according to Kotak Institutional Equities. Larger peer Infosys expects a revenue growth of zero to 3% this fiscal year while HCLTech foresees a 2% to 5% rise. Singh is bullish on operating margins going up "materially" as Coforge focuses on larger deals. "We will take whatever comes our way, but we have a strong preference for larger deals because they help with visibility, they help with resilience of revenue, and they also help longer term in margin expansion."

India slaps anti-dumping duty on some Chinese, Vietnamese solar glass for 5 years
India has decided to impose an anti-dumping duty of up to USD 664 per tonne on a type of solar glass imported from China and Vietnam. The move is meant to protect Indian manufacturers from very cheap imports that are hurting their business. #Operation Sindoor India-Pakistan Clash Live Updates| Missiles, shelling, and attacks — here's all that's happening Pakistani Air Force jet shot down in Pathankot by Indian Air Defence: Sources India on high alert: What's shut, who's on leave, and state-wise emergency measures This decision comes after a detailed investigation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR), which works under the commerce ministry. The investigation found that China and Vietnam were selling large amounts of solar glass in India at very low prices, which affected Indian producers badly. The glass in question is called Textured Toughened (Tempered) Coated and Uncoated Glass, but it is also commonly known as: Continue to video 5 5 Next Stay Playback speed 1x Normal Back 0.25x 0.5x 1x Normal 1.5x 2x 5 5 / Skip Ads by Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Solar Glass Low Iron Solar Glass Solar PV Glass High Transmission Photovoltaic Glass Tempered Low Iron Patterned Solar Glass This glass is mainly used in making solar panels. How much is the duty? The anti-dumping duty will be between USD 570 and USD 664 per tonne. It will be in effect for five years starting from 4 December 2024, unless the government decides to change it earlier. Live Events Indian company Borosil Renewables Ltd had filed the complaint that led to the investigation. In a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Borosil welcomed the decision, saying it would help local manufacturing of solar glass grow quickly. Anti-dumping investigations are carried out to find out if low-priced imports are damaging Indian businesses. If such imports are found to be unfair, duties are added to make the competition equal for local producers. These actions are allowed under the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO), of which both India and China are members. India has already put similar duties on many other products in the past to stop cheap imports from countries like China. Inputs from PTI
