India’s information technology services industry is likely to miss its target of $60 billion, or Rs3 trillion at today’s currency rates, worth of exports by 2010 by at least three to four quarters, a report by lobby group National Association of Software and Services Companies, or Nasscom, and management consulting firm McKinsey and Co. released on Tuesday said.

“Given the current pace of reforms and expected constrains in talent and infrastructure supply, the exports component of the Indian industry is expected to reach $175 billion in revenues by 2020 (showing a decline in market share to 40%)," the report says.

“Focused initiatives and innovation-led growth can lead to additional revenues of up to $135 billion." Demand from India, or domestic revnues, will contribute $50 billion in revenues, the report added.
