India's largest IT services giant, TCS, reported a 1.7% drop in its March-quarter net profit, amounting to Rs 12,224 crore, primarily due to a contraction in margins.

The Tata Group company, first to report its performance for January-March, has delayed wage hikes for its 607,000 employees, citing business uncertainties brought about by tariff challenges.

Despite the turmoil, TCS secured new projects worth USD 12.2 billion, marking the second-highest project wins ever, with ongoing focus on digital transformation projects emphasized by CEO K Krithivasan.
