Cyberabad

Cyberabad is the name widely used for Hyderabad's information technology and business district in the Indian state of Telangana. It encompasses a cluster of neighborhoods in the western and northwestern parts of the Hyderabad metropolitan area, notably Madhapur, Hitech City, Kondapur, Gachibowli, and Lingampally along the Outer Ring Road.

The area emerged in the 1990s with the establishment of software parks and incentives for IT investment, transforming Hyderabad into a major IT hub. The development was driven by government policy and private investment, resulting in a dense concentration of IT campuses, business parks, and support services that attract multinational and domestic companies.

Economy and infrastructure: Cyberabad hosts major IT estates, including the Cyber Towers in Hitech City, and campuses for firms such as Infosys, Wipro, TCS, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Accenture. The district features extensive office space, ancillary services, and residential enclaves to support a large workforce. It is connected by major road networks and lies in proximity to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. The IT corridor is complemented by retail, educational institutions, and research facilities that together form a broad urban and economic ecosystem.

Governance and administration: Cyberabad is associated with the broader Hyderabad metropolitan governance framework and has a dedicated police jurisdiction, the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate, established to administer policing across the IT corridor and surrounding areas. The term also informally denotes the economic ecosystem and urban development patterns linked to the information technology industry in western Hyderabad.
