The losers included Titan (-1.08 per cent), Tata Steel (-0.30 per cent) and Tata Chemicals (-0.13 per cent).
TCS announced a strategic partnership with Vodafone Business, the enterprise arm of VodafoneThree, the United Kingdom’s largest mobile operator.
“TCS will help Vodafone Business further strengthen its ability to support UK organisations with secure, resilient, and scalable digital foundations for growth and modernisation,” TCS said.
