Technology giants Infosys and TCS fell 1.6% each today on media reports the US had raised the cost of processing H-1B employment visas.
The higher costs could hit profit margins at India's $100 billion technology and business process outsourcing industry, which employs 107,000 people in the United States, of which near a third are Indians.
Indian companies also send local employees to India, typically through the H-1B visas.
