HYDERABAD — Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inaugurated the Hyderabad Information Technology and Engineering Consultancy (HITEC) City Phase 4 on Thursday, a ₹18,000 crore expansion of one of Asia's most recognised technology clusters, designed to accommodate 60,000 new tech workers across 42 new buildings.
The 280-acre development in Raidurgam includes India's first dedicated Semiconductor Design Park — a collaboration between the state government, IIT Hyderabad, and five global chip design firms — as well as a 50-acre AI research campus seeded with ₹2,500 crore in government funding.
Competing with Bengaluru
Telangana IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu said the expansion was part of an ambition to make Hyderabad India's leading tech city by 2030, overtaking Bengaluru in terms of new IT employment. "We have the land, the talent pipeline from Osmania and JNTU, and now we have the infrastructure. The world's top companies are choosing Hyderabad," he said.
Major tech firms including Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon have all announced expanded Hyderabad campuses this year. Apple is separately in discussions about establishing its first India hardware engineering centre in the new SEZ.
