NEW DELHI: Infosys is “extremely mobilised” on the GST Network enhancement project and work is progressing at “full speed” even as a large segment of its employees are working remotely amid the nationwide lockdown, its CEO Salil Parekh said. Taxpayers were facing issues due to glitches on the GSTN portal. The portal of GST Network (GSTN), which provides the technology backbone for the goods and services tax (GST), is managed by Infosys.

“I think we’re extremely mobilised, working very closely with the GST Council. In fact, our Chairman Nandan (Nilekani) had met them. There’s a detailed plan that is also internally being developed, we are working towards it. There are some constraints obviously on procurement of some hardware and but as we come closer to July, we’ll have a sense on that basis in terms of the manpower deployment,” Parekh told .

He added that work is progressing at full speed, even amid lockdown situation that has forced majority of Infosys staff to work remotely.

“It’s at full speed, even in this remote working situation. And we’re making every attempt to make sure all of those discussions that we were part of, we are executing upon. As of now, we have everything fully mobilised,” Parekh said.

He added that there will be discussions around July to “make sure all the hardware pieces which need to be procured are fully available, given the supply chain constraints in the hardware”.
