Described by DLF as the "largest operational IT SEZ in Southern India," the 43-acre campus (designed by Hafeez Contractor, constructed by Eversandai) integrates 13 office blocks with ~38,000 sq ft typical floor plates, alongside dedicated fire stations, 4.5 acres of green zone, 2-acre sports zone, food courts, health and wellness centres, and day-care facilities. LEED Platinum across multiple blocks. Award winner for "Best Private Sector SEZ in Tamil Nadu." At 98% occupancy by Fortune 500 tenants, it is one of the most successfully leased large IT SEZ campuses in India. Why companies choose DLF Cybercity over OMR: The western location gives DLF Cybercity direct connectivity to the Sriperumbudur-Oragadam manufacturing corridor (via NH-716), making it naturally attractive to engineering companies, automotive OEMs, electronics manufacturers, and companies that maintain both IT services operations and manufacturing/supply chain ties. IBM, Accenture, Barclays, and Dell all have large campuses here. Commerzone: K Raheja's Commerzone development in Porur (6 acres, 1.1 million sq ft, 2 towers) adds another Grade A option in the corridor for companies seeking independent building address versus the DLF campus. Orange Line Metro / Corridor 4 (Phase 2): Trial runs began on the Poonamallee–Porur Junction stretch in April 2025. Once operational, this will give DLF Cybercity and the western IT corridor direct metro connectivity to Vadapalani (Green Line interchange), CMBT, Anna Nagar, and onward. This is expected to significantly improve talent accessibility from across the city.
