Infosys Opens New Facility, Adds 10,000 Seats at Pocharam Campus

Infosys has expanded its Hyderabad operations with the inauguration of a new 1.1 million sq. ft. Software Development Block at its Pocharam campus. The new facility adds 10,000 seats and is designed to support an additional workforce of more than 13,000 employees under a hybrid working model.

The facility was inaugurated on October 30, 2026, in the presence of Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu, and Infosys Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka.

The expansion strengthens Infosys’ presence in Telangana and adds infrastructure to support its growing work in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, cybersecurity, engineering and digital services.

Infosys Expands Pocharam Development Centre

Spread across 450 acres, the Pocharam Development Centre currently has seven software development blocks with approximately 4.58 million sq. ft. of built-up area. The newly inaugurated block will be an additional facility at the campus.

The development centre caters to global clients across banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), retail, life sciences and manufacturing.

The new infrastructure is expected to strengthen the company’s delivery capabilities in emerging technology areas as global businesses increase their focus on AI and digital services.

Importantly, the additional workforce capacity should not be interpreted as a confirmed commitment to recruit 13,000 employees. Infosys has not announced a specific hiring target or recruitment timeline linked to this expansion.

Focus on Sustainability and Employee Facilities

The new building includes several sustainability features, such as:

• Energy-efficient radiant cooling systems and smart lighting.
• Rainwater harvesting and wastewater reuse.
• Workspaces designed to maximise natural daylight.
• Flexible work areas, collaborative spaces and employee wellness facilities.

These features are intended to improve energy efficiency and provide a better working environment for employees.

What the Expansion Means for Hiring

The expansion adds to Infosys’ infrastructure capacity in Hyderabad at a time when technology companies are increasing their focus on AI, cloud computing and cybersecurity.

For the HR industry, the development raises the possibility of additional workforce requirements in software development, engineering, AI and digital services.

However, the company has not disclosed how many new employees it plans to recruit for the expanded facility or when any such hiring will take place.

The expansion is therefore an addition to Infosys’ operational capacity rather than an announcement of a specific number of new jobs.
