IT deals may be revised after new visa rules
Business Standard
|September 23, 2025
Information technology deals, that are in the process of getting signed or will be up for renewal next year, are likely to be renegotiated as the US unprecedentedly hiked the H-1B visa fees to $100,000 from next year in a huge blow to India’s flagship export industry.
Experts say that such prohibitive costs may force IT services companies to keep their prospective visa employees in India. On the other hand, they will have to step up their nearshore contingencies in Canada and Mexico and fast-track plans to hire more in the US — both will add on to their cost and impact their already-pressured margins.
Deals worth about $20 billion were up for renewal this year, Business Standard reported in March. Some of the major deals still to be closed include TCS’ deal with Star Alliance and Nielsen, Infosys’ with Daimler and GE Appliances, and Wipro’s with German energy company E.ON and Brazil’s Petrobras.

'Earlier, almost any IPO could find demand. That phase is over'
After a record-breaking run last year, India’s initial public offering (IPO) market has begun 2026 on a subdued note, with volatility and geopolitical risks tempering investor appetite. But the slowdown does not signal a freeze, says Neha Agarwal, managing director (MD) and head of ECM at JM Financial. Instead, the market is entering a far more selective phase. In an interview with Samie Modak and Khushboo Tiwari in Mumbai, Agarwal outlines why the next cycle will reward quality over quantity and which sectors are best placed to attract capital.
