Nasscom says India is on course to achieve $60 billion in exports by 2010
Benefitting from a boom in offshore outsourcing, India's software and services exports are estimated to grow by 32.6 percent to over $31 billion in the Indian fiscal year to March 31, according to data released Tuesday by the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom).
India’s top outsourcing companies, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Technologies, and Wipro reported earlier this month strong growth in revenue and profits for the quarter ended December 31, mainly on increased volumes of business.
The country is on course to achieve $60 billion in exports by 2010, NASSCOM said.
IT services including software development are expected to contribute $18 billion to exports in the year to March 31, while business process outsourcing (BPO) and call centers are likely to contribute another $8.3 billion, according to Nasscom in Delhi. Engineering services, research and development (R&D) services, and product development work are expected to contribute a further $5.0 billion.
The data includes exports by both Indian outsourcing companies, and Indian operations of multinational services and technology companies like IBM, Dell, Oracle, and Accenture.
