Revenue growth for India’s software services industry is forecast to further slacken as customers grappling with technology changes and political uncertainty slow down their spending.

Sales will rise 7 to 8 percent in constant currency terms in the fiscal year ending in March 2018, the National Association of Software and Services Companies, or Nasscom, said in a statement Thursday. Last financial year, the $154 billion IT services industry added $11 billion revenues to grow at an 8.6 percent pace.
