Indian IT giants radically reduced green card applications even before US crackdown, data shows
Indian IT giants significantly reduced their PERM labour certification applications prior to a US crackdown, with Tata Consultancy Services reporting a 99.8% drop from 1,804 in FY2024 to just two in 2026. This trend reflects a strategic shift as TCS plans to hire 15,000 US employees over five years, minimizing the impact of the US suspension on their workforce strategy.
