Infosys reviews exposure to sanctions-hit Huawei

BENGALURU: Infosys has begun to review its contracts with Huawei to ensure it is not caught short by the US government clamping down on the technology Chinese giant, a move that experts say will likely be replicated by other Indian IT companies.

Last month, the US government imposed sanctions on Huawei placing it on its ‘Entity List’ which restricts the Chinese company’s ability to buy and sell hardware, software and services to and from American hi-tech suppliers. The company was granted a threemonth reprieve to continue purchasing US equipment until mid-August.
