NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian software services exporter Wipro Ltd (NS:WIPR) won its biggest-ever contract worth more than $1.5 billion with U.S.-based Alight Solutions LLC for digital services, the company said in a statement on Sunday.

Wipro, one of India's top IT firms, said it would earn $1.5-1.6 billion in revenues over the tenure of the deal, which will include services in health, human resources and finance for Illinois-based Alight Solutions.

In July, the Bengaluru-based firm had said it would buy Alight Solutions' India operations for $117 million in cash. The deal is expected to be completed in the quarter ending September.

Shares of the IT firm hit a seven-month high on Friday, gaining as much as 2.53 percent to 306.5 rupees.
