Uppal / Pocharam

Hyderabad's Eastern IT Corridor, Where Talent Lives and Scale Begins

Uppal and Pocharam constitute East Hyderabad's most significant IT commercial corridor, a strategic counter-balance to the saturated western cluster (HITEC City, Gachibowli) that the Telangana Government has actively nurtured through its "Growth in Dispersion" (GRID) policy. Uppal is directly served by the Blue Line metro (Uppal Station, Corridor III), while Pocharam, 7 km from Uppal Junction, hosts Mindspace East Hyderabad (104 acres, IT park with SEZ and non-SEZ zones), the largest Infosys campus in Hyderabad (adjacent, 5 minutes by road), and a growing portfolio of mid-sized IT parks.

Infrastructure & Business Environment

SEZ / Tax Incentives

Mindspace East Hyderabad includes both SEZ-notified and STPI-registered non-SEZ zones, offering full IT/ITeS export benefits. Ramky IT SEZ is a TSIIC-backed notified SEZ. The GRID policy includes additional incentives (infrastructure subsidies, faster clearances) for IT companies locating in east, north, or south Hyderabad vs. the saturated western corridor.

Talent Pipeline

JNTU Hyderabad (15 km via HITEC City/ORR), Osmania University (18 km via Uppal), Kakatiya University (Warangal, ~90 km via NH 163, feeder for east corridor talent), and multiple Uppal-area engineering colleges. The east Hyderabad residential population, which accounts for ~60% of the city's total, provides the largest local talent pool of any Hyderabad corridor; many east Hyderabad tech workers currently commute west (to HITEC City) and the east corridor's growth is creating reverse commute opportunities.

Grade A & ESG Assets

Mindspace East Hyderabad is built to modern Grade A commercial specifications with landscaped campus design. New IT parks under TSIIC GRID policy are required to meet IGBC Green or equivalent standards. ESG certification maturity is lower than the western corridor but rapidly improving with institutional developer entry.

Power & Connectivity

TSNPDCL (Telangana Northern Power Distribution) provides grid supply for East Hyderabad. Dedicated substations serve Mindspace Pocharam and Uppal. All Grade A parks maintain 100% DG backup. Jio Fibre and Airtel are available throughout the corridor; NH 163 logistics spine provides reliable multimodal connectivity including rail freight via Cherlapalli.
