The company said its EBIT (operating earnings) is also expected to be negatively affected by 80 basis points.
During this quarter, the US dollar continued to strengthen against almost all global currencies, HCL Technologies had said in a statement yesterday.
"Since the company's revenues are derived in multiple currencies and significant costs are incurred in Indian rupee, the revenue and EBIT for the quarter to be reported in dollar, would have adverse impact of about 280 bps and about 80 bps, respectively," it added.
