While this figure displayed a modest 0.53 percent dip compared to the preceding fiscal year, the nuances within the statistics paint a vivid picture of a sector on a multifaceted journey.
Within this panorama, the subcategories of IT services carved distinct trajectories. Noteworthy was the resilient growth in computer services exports, edging up by 0.08 percent to a substantial $2,110.99 million.
