The recent rupee appreciation against the US dollar may put pressure on the operating margins of IT firms such as Tata Consultancy Services, said N Chandrasekaran, its CEO and MD.

"It will put pressure... but we have enough levers to deal with it as long as it is in a narrow band," said Chandrasekaran. The rupee has appreciated 4% against the dollar so far in September.

The company expects the operating profit margins to be flat-to-slightly lower sequentially in the July-September quarter.

On his outlook for the quarter, he said, "We will see a slight shift to onsite hiring."

The company reaffirmed that the hiring target of 50,000 in the current financial year remains intact.
