Information technology major HCL Technologies has moved up after entering into a multi-million pound, five-year technology infrastructure management and transformation engagement with News International, a British subsidiary of News Corporation. The stock is trading at Rs 357, up by Rs 8 or 2%, on the BSE. This also happens to be the 52-week high for the stock.
HCL will manage and transform News International’s datacentre and network environments by migrating operating systems.
