CMC limited

Chairman: S. Ramadorai Founded: 1975

CMC, the New Delhi based IT services company became a part of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in 2001 after the Government divested its stake in the company.

With a strong background and numerous public sector companies as its clients, the company's profits have been moving north. CMC Limited announced its financial results for the half year ended September 2005. The total revenue of the company increased by 11.1 percent to $91.36 million as opposed to $82.04 million earned in the corresponding period in the previous year. The company's profit before tax for the period was $8.26 million.

CMC was the first Indian company to make its international foray by acquiring U.S. based Baton Rouge International in 1991 and has not looked back since then. It has offices in London and Dubai. When IBM quit India in 1978, CMC took over the maintenance of over 800 IBM computers installed in the country.

Of late there have been talks of the company delisting from the Indian bourses and merging with the TCS.
