The $4.3 bn in IT acquisitions in FY26 is the highest since the turn of the century

- Jas Bardia & Varun Sood

India’s 10 largest information technology (IT) services companies have announced $4.3 billion in acquisitions in the current fiscal year, the highest since the turn of the century, as they look to acquire new competencies in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies at a time of rapid technological change.

In fiscal year 2025 (FY25), the 10 companies paid $10.8 billion (₹96,557 crore) in dividends and share buybacks and about $1.5 billion (around ₹14,000 crore) on acquisitions, Mint research found. Earlier in FY22, the same companies spent about ₹27,000 crore on buyouts and gave ₹81,669 crore to shareholders.

Significantly, some of the cash-rich, homegrown IT services firms, including Coforge Ltd and Hexaware Technologies Ltd, are now spending more on acquisitions than on returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
