Indian IT outsourcing companies sweat while dealing Indian Government IT projects

Indian public sector enterprises like India Post and Indian Railways, along with other government agencies, are expected to spend nearly $2 billion over the next 12 months on outsourcing different processes and software services.

But servicing these projects can make the India IT companies go into deep losses. India’s top tech firms TCS, Infosys and Wipro step up efforts to address the lucrative government outsourcing market (over $100 billion globally), project delays, frequent changes in leadership and increased public scrutiny are making it tough for them to execute public sector projects. The losses can go deep if software projects are not controlled well.

For example, potential project delays like in the case of the TCS-Indian passport services are among the concerns that the IT outsourcing companies are sweating about.
