IT major Infosys on Monday announced the acquisition of Houston-based Noah Consulting for $70 million or Rs 450 crore in an all-cash deal. Noah Consulting is a leading provider of advanced information management consulting services for the oil and gas industry, Infosys said in a statement.

The transaction is expected to close before the end of the third quarter of 2015-16 fiscal year, Infosys added.

Rajesh Murthy, executive vice president and global head of energy, communications and services of Infosys said, "With this acquisition, we are uniquely positioned to offer end-to-end data management services to oil and gas companies globally."

Infosys, which has been conservative about acquisitions for many years, has taken to inorganic growth in a big way since Vishal Sikka took over as CEO last year.

Under its first non-founder CEO, Infosys has announced the acquisition of Panaya and Kallidus Inc. earlier this year.

Infosys had acquired Kallidus, a digital experience solutions firm, for $120 million in April 2015. US-based automation technology company Panaya's acquisition was announced in February 2015 for $200 million.

Infosys shares closed 1.7 per cent higher at Rs 1,112, outperforming the broader Sensex, which ended with 0.5 per cent gains at 27,365.
