Tata Consultancy Services reported strong AI adoption and first-quarter results showing $2.6 billion in AI revenue, overall revenue of ₹72,275 crore, profit after tax of ₹13,349 crore and an EBIT margin of 24%.

TCS also announced a large net-new multi-year AI-led deal with SKF, affirmed optimism for FY27 versus FY26, and said hiring will focus on AI skills while protecting margins through productivity gains.
