"We expect revenue growth to come back strong; a 3.2 percent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in constant currency as growth returns in the top client," said Edelweiss Securities in a report.

The absence of wage hikes and weak Indian rupee will help margin expansion of 130bps, which may be partially offset by the impact of furloughs, Edelweiss Securities added.

The management commentary on demand momentum in BFSI, commentary on utilisation, and demand in digital are the key

monitorable, said the brokerage.

Edelweiss Securities sees a 7.9 percent year-on-year (YoY) jump in Larsen & Toubro Infotech's Q3 revenue, while EBITDA and core PAT are expected to grow 1.6 percent and 6.5 percent YoY, respectively.
