<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Ladies and Gentlemen:</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have examined the Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-8 (the &#147;Registration
Statement&#148;) to be filed by Wipro Limited, a corporation organized under the
laws of the Republic of India (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;you&#148;), with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December&nbsp;15, 2003, in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Act&#148;), of 1,500,000 shares
of Wipro Limited Equity Shares, par value Rs. 2 per share (the &#147;Plan Shares&#148;)
reserved for issuance under options or stock purchase rights granted or to be
granted pursuant to the Company&#146;s 2000 ADS Option Plan, as amended, (the
&#147;Plan&#148;). As your counsel in connection with the transaction, we have examined
the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be
taken by you in connection with the proposed sale and issuance of the Plan
Shares.

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in compliance with the
applicable prospectus delivery requirements and in the manner referred to in
the Plan and pursuant to the agreements that accompany the Plan, and upon
completion of the actions being taken or proposed to be taken to permit such
transactions to be carried out in accordance with the securities laws of the
various states where required, the Plan Shares, when issued and sold in the
manner described under the Plan and the agreements that accompany the Plan,
will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including any Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments or supplements thereto.
