  • Nifty IT Outperforms Nifty 50 Amid US-Iran Conflict: Contrarian Buy Opportunity?
    March 12, 2026, 6:37 AM EDT. Indian IT stocks have outperformed the broader market since the US-Iran conflict began, with the Nifty IT index declining roughly 3% compared to over 5% for the Nifty 50. Despite a longer-term downtrend, including a 21% fall over one year, the sector benefits from a weaker rupee boosting export revenues, as most sales are dollar-denominated. Foreign investors have pulled over ₹17,000 crore from IT stocks recently due to concerns about AI disruption to the outsourcing model. Experts suggest selective buying, focusing on niche technology firms rather than broad IT services, as short-term rebounds may not signal sustained recovery. The currency tailwind and geopolitical tensions position IT stocks as a potential contrarian play amid market turbulence.
