What the reporting says
India’s Ministry of External Affairs criticised the US tech visa crackdown affecting Indian IT companies, according to a BusinessLine summary. The reported freeze targets TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Cognizant, along with Capgemini, Microsoft, and Adobe. The report does not state when the freeze began, why it was imposed, or what immediate operational changes the companies face.
Why it matters
The Ministry of External Affairs criticised a US tech visa crackdown that the BusinessLine summary says is targeting Indian IT firms TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies, and Cognizant, as well as Capgemini, Microsoft, and Adobe. The reporting does not give the legal basis, timing, or operational impact of the freeze, so the main effect appears to be uncertainty for cross-border technology staffing.
