TCS to streamline complex transactions for CEB of Paris
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has partnered with the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), a Paris-headquartered social development bank that promotes social inclusion in its 43 member states across Europe, to modernise its operations and drive greater efficiency. As part of this collaboration, TCS would deploy TCS BaNCSTM for Reconciliations to help the bank streamline complex transactions and automate key reconciliation processes using artificial intelligence and automation, the tech firm said.
By deploying TCS BaNCS for Reconciliations, the CEB would be able to automate the entire reconciliation lifecycle—from transaction matching and exception handling to investigation and reporting.
The product would provide real-time visibility and greater transparency, while reducing manual effort and turnaround times. Its integration with the bank's core systems would allow for better control and faster daily reconciliations.

Indian cos chart magnet supply chain plans
ET Bureau The situation for the auto industry has deteriorated over the past few months as no Indian auto component or vehicle company has managed to get approval from the Chinese govt for procuring rare earth magnets. As Indian auto industry faces a magnet supply crunch, following restrictions placed by China, a group of companies, including some homegrown advanced material entities, have come forward to build in-house supply chains. The companies have made presentations to govt, including the heavy industries ministry, and assured building of supplies within India to reduce dependence on China. "The companies include Midwest Advanced Materials , Entellus Industries, and public sector Indian Rare Earths (IREL)," sources have told TOI. The sources said that heavy industries secretary Kamran Rizvi has also taken presentations from companies as govt develops strategies for indigenous capabilities in magnet production. "Midwest Advanced Materials made a presentation about their plans to produce rare earth magnets in India with a capacity of 500 tonnes per annum. They forecast that by end of 2026, they will be able to produce custom-made rare earth magnets for the industry," one of the sources said. Entellus, a UK-headquartered company with primary operations in India, also made a presentation to govt, detailing their plans to produce rare earth magnets. "They have told officials that their plant is ready to produce the magnetic powder but will still take some time to produce industry-grade magnets," the source said. Live Events IREL, which was among the last to make its presentation, informed govt that once production begins, they will be able to match China's rates. "However, the company said that ore present in Indian geography is 100 times less than in China, the US, and Australia," the source said. Companies also told govt that magnet production in India was shut down over the past two decades due to proliferation of cheaper Chinese supplies. "The industry members requested govt to support companies in setting up magnet production by providing incentives and monetary benefits," the source said. Secretary Rizvi told the companies to make "realistic statements about magnet production" as potential customers in the auto sector will suffer due to incorrect assessments. The auto industry has also requested potential local producers to provide a firm timeline on supplies, if possible, emphasising that their production line depends on quick procurement. The situation for the auto industry has deteriorated over the past few months as no Indian auto component or vehicle company has managed to get approval from the Chinese govt for procuring rare earth magnets. Also, there has been "no clarity as yet" on any timeline for a confirmed meeting with representatives of Chinese govt, despite intervention of Indian officials. The applications for sourcing magnets have been filed mainly by parts manufacturers who provide fully-built sophisticated component assemblies such as speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and ignition coils (used in engines). The request for a meeting with Chinese representatives is being pursued not just by industry bodies of component makers (Auto Component Manufacturers Association) and vehicle manufacturers (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers), but also facilitated by officials in ministries.

IT's Europe deal momentum is up after three slow quarters
Agencies Representative Image As the largest technology outsourcing market — the US — navigates through the trade and policy uncertainties, deal activity has seen increased traction from Europe after three slow industry analysts have seen an approximately 5% rise in European deals from the previous quarter even as the US market remained flat at 2% growth, as per US-based research firm HFS Group. Publicly India's largest IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) alone signed at least six deals in Europe since March — telecom tower operator Vantage Towers, France's Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, Netherlands-based multi-service utility provider Hanab, Council of Europe Development Bank, Denmark-based retailer Salling Group, and UK-based airline Virgin Atlantic. Second largest company Infosys partnered with Allied Irish Banks, UK's Yorkshire Building Society while immediate rival HCLTech bagged an engineering services deal with Swedish truck maker Volvo. Smaller peers L&T Technology Services and Tata Elxsi signed a €50 million deal each with undisclosed European auto manufacturers. Even as Wipro has indicated a softer outlook in Europe, it appointed a new CEO for its European strategic unit. This, at a time when the US corporates are pausing or cancelling existing projects, amid rising cost pressures due to the tariff impact weighing on them along with the constant change in the trade policies. 'We are seeing some gradual pick-up in the UK, Benelux, and Germany after three very slow quarters in Europe. Some enterprises are openly talking about transformation to better align with the uncertain trade environment and address legacy issues like cloud migration and cybersecurity,' said Phil Fersht, founder and chief analyst at advisory firm HFS Group. After a slowness of 17 deals signed in Europe from October to December 2024, the momentum picked up to 30 in January to March quarter 2025, as shown by BNP Paribas data based on publicly available key large deals. In April and May, 14 deals were signed without accounting for the month of June. In comparison, deal signings in US stood at 11 and 12 in December and March quarter, respectively while April and May saw five deals. As per data services platform ISG, Europe saw the value of deals jump to $4.08 billion January to March 2025, up from $3.4 billion in December quarter and $3.5 billion in January to March Jain, founder and CEO of India-based IT research firm EIIR Trend, highlighted that, European auto companies, which signed three deals in the whole of 2024, have signed at least five deals so far this year, with still half a year to go. 'The reason is that European auto companies want to reduce costs while investing in SDVs (software defined vehicles). They need external support from engineering service providers at competitive prices. So, they are looking at Indian engineering service providers.'They are making faster decisions compared to US auto companies, which are struggling with greater uncertainty and lack of policy clarity, Jain the pandemic, the Indian outsourcing leaders have also been increasing their acquisitions to nearly a dozen in Europe, where the pace of revenue expansion has dented growth owing to business companies such as TCS, KPIT Technologies also opened technology and delivery centres in European countries to accelerate the offerings in the region.'The supply chain and competitive pressures will help Indian companies take more share,' said KPIT Technologies MD and CEO Kishor to experts, cost optimisation opportunities in Europe especially in auto, manufacturing and BFSI are likely to see uptick in the ongoing fiscal year 2026. In a post-results conference in April, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said the company has made several investments and scaled up in different geographies in Europe. 'So that is a good market for us. With the changes in the environment, we will sort of see what develops.' Its chief financial officer said Europe grew 3x of the company rate at 15% in constant currency terms driven by our focused approach of client mining, ramp-up of large deals and acquisitions. Besides Europe, other regions which showed growth, according to Fersht, are Middle East at around 5% with a smaller base. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific witnessed a decline of around 1-2%.The US contributes around 40-50% of the revenues for Indian IT majors, followed by Europe constituting about 20-30% of the more-than-$280 billion market of software services exported by India. For the January to March quarter, Europe's revenues at top eight firms continued to outgrow American region with a growth of 2.8% year-on-year and 1% sequentially as compared to Americas degrowth at (-0.1)% YoY and (-2.1)% sequentially, as per a recent Kotak Institutional Equities report.
