  • Infosys Shares Gain on Strong AI Demand, Pre-Market at INR 1,663.50
    January 23, 2026, 9:15 PM EST. Infosys Limited (INFY.NS) trades in pre-market at INR 1,663.50, buoyed by sustained demand for its AI platform, Infosys Nia.

Technical indicators show a steady trend amid caution on momentum. Sector challenges persist with subdued tech spending, but Infosys enjoys relative strength given its INR 6.94 trillion market cap. Analyst Meyka AI assigns an A grade and a 12-month price target of INR 1,779, signaling nearly 7% upside. Risks include slower AI adoption and regulatory impacts, while growth hinges on large deal closures and improved quarterly earnings.
