India's Infosys does not expect material impact from US PERM suspension

Infosys, India's second-largest IT firm, does not expect a significant impact from the US government's suspension of its Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) application. The US government suspended Infosys and several other major global tech and IT firms from the PERM green card program, which allows skilled foreign workers to gain permanent residency in the US through their employment.

The company has stated that it welcomes the opportunity to work with the US Department of Labor and related government agencies to answer any questions they may have. Infosys has recently entered into a $454 million deal with Danske Bank.

According to The Economic Times, Indian IT companies, including Infosys, Tata, Wipro, and HCL, have made fewer applications for green cards this year, suggesting that the suspension may not have a substantial impact on their operations. In 2024, Infosys filed 87 PERM applications, but data for 2025 and 2026 was not available.
