Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is investing over ₹4,500 crore to expand its physical footprint across India. The move includes significant real estate acquisitions and leasing in cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Visakhapatnam, reflecting a long-term strategy to scale operations, embrace hybrid work, and tap into India’s growing tech talent.
TCS Rolls Out Major Office Expansion Across India
India’s largest IT services firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is embarking on a massive infrastructure expansion with over ₹4,500 crore earmarked to establish new campuses, lease large-scale office spaces, and extend its presence across multiple cities. The move underlines TCS’s long-term strategy to strengthen delivery capabilities while adapting to hybrid workforce models.
Big Bets in Bengaluru and Kolkata
In Bengaluru, TCS has made two high-value acquisitions — purchasing 1.4–1.6 million sq ft from Sattva-Darshita for ₹2,250 crore and 3.2 million sq ft from TRIL for ₹1,625 crore. Together, these deals will add about 25,000 seats. Additionally, the company leased 800,000 sq ft at 360 Degrees Business Park in Electronic City, further expanding its stronghold in India’s IT capital.
Meanwhile, in Kolkata, TCS is developing 30 acres across its Sanchita Park and Bengal Silicon Valley Hub campuses. These new developments are projected to support 16,500 seats, with 12,500 expected to be ready by 2025.
Expanding Beyond Metros: Kochi, Vizag, and More
TCS’s expansion isn’t limited to metro cities. In Visakhapatnam, the company has secured 21.6 acres on a 99-year lease from the Andhra Pradesh government. Kochi is acquiring 37 acres within the Kinfra Electronics Manufacturing Cluster for ₹690 crore.
The company has also leased additional office spaces in Coimbatore and Hyderabad, indicating a decentralised approach to scaling up operations. Industry watchers note this reflects growing confidence in India’s tier-2 cities as talent-rich, cost-effective alternatives for future tech growth.
Signal of Sectoral Confidence and Hybrid Planning
Although TCS has not commented officially due to its silent period, its aggressive real estate investments are a bullish signal for the commercial office market. Experts interpret this as a clear bet on future demand and India’s robust talent ecosystem.
According to NASSCOM, the domestic tech market is growing faster than exports. “Several tech companies are driving this growth focused on building in India for India,” the association noted in April, highlighting the digital transformation contracts and optimism within the local enterprise segment.
Looking Ahead: Building for a Hybrid Future
TCS’s expansion strategy aligns with evolving workplace trends. As hybrid and return-to-office models continue to reshape global business operations, creating modern, flexible workspaces is key. The firm’s push into multiple cities also reflects a diversification of risk and resources while tapping into regional talent pools.
The infrastructure bet, spanning both metros and non-metros, positions TCS for long-term scalability, resilience, and client proximity, reaffirming its leadership as India’s tech bellwether.
