Infosys may bag large govt deal

Infosys Technologies may win a large IT project from the government, which will run on a transaction-based pricing model, similar to the passport processing contract its larger rival Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) won last year, according to industry sources. The contract is among the many large IT contracts that are up for bidding from government departments or public sector undertakings. A final decision is expected in the next 15-20 days, but the possibility of the elections causing further delay cannot be discounted, said an industry source. If Infosys bags the project, it will be its first mega win in the public sector.
