Revenue in the quarter increased 25.1 percent to 37.73 billion rupees ($939 million) for the quarter ending June 30.

The sharp appreciation of the rupee against all major currencies impacted our operating margins during the quarter, said Chief Financial Officer V. Balakrishnan in a statement.

However, our robust and flexible operating and financial model enabled us to maintain our net margins while absorbing the impact of appreciating currency, higher wages and visa costs, he said.

Bombay-based Infosys lowered its full year projection to 78.20 rupees, less that its April forecast of least 80.29 rupees.
