TCS is the country's second-most valuable company and its earnings are seen as a marker of the $150 billion IT services sector's health. The Mumbai-headquartered company said it earned 11.2% more in revenue from its BFSI clients compared to a year earlier.
That helped boost its net profit for the quarter ended June 30 to 81.31 billion rupees ($1.19 billion) from 73.40 billion rupees a year earlier. Revenue rose 11.4%. Analysts on average had expected the company to post a profit of 78.24 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data.
"Our margins this quarter fully reflect the annual increments that we effected across the board in April," TCS Chief Financial Officer V Ramakrishnan company said in a statement. The company's biggest rival, Infosys Ltd, will report its first-quarter earnings on Friday.
