It is no longer Madhapur! A lot of activity is happening in the East side of the city – Pocharam, Uppal, Adibatla, etc. For many of the IT/ITES companies, it is the new destination. Infosys has its new branch at Pocharam presently with an employee strength of 6,500, which is expected to become a team of 45,000 – largest in the country. IBM, TCS, Genpact, Cognizant and many more companies are moving to East.
Why many of the big players are eyeing East parts of the city? What are the issues with other parts of the city or what is so good about East? Let us see in this article.

West
West part of the city, i.e., Hitech city and other parts in and around the outer ring road are already developed. There is no scope for further development, as any kind of expansions will 

affect the Osman Sagar and Himayath Sagar catchment areas. This will lead to problem for drinking water and ground water levels. Further, even if any kind of expansion is forced, it will have to move out of the ORR, which becomes too far from the city. This will lead to long commute, increased congestion, traffic and pollution.

North
Most parts in the North come under cantonment area and SCR (South Central Railway). Major part is military area, in which all the development and maintenance works are carried out by army. Some of the areas and roads are highly restricted for entry of general public. There are many toll gates and check points, which may obstruct the ease of traffic. Population in this region is increasing, but not the road connectivity. Mostly two lane roads, though lot of open land is present on both sides.


South
Not much modern life is seen when compared to other parts of the city. There are no new organized offices or positive developments (political, social and business) seen in this area since years. Low pass percentage in education, as majority of the population is below poverty line. This area is also susceptible to communal violence. Curfews are imposed unexpectedly, which affect the day-to-day life, transportation and pose threat to employees.


East
There is a huge development in this area as it has great potential to be a good residential as well as business center. With lot of city and migrant population settling in areas like A.S.Rao Nagar, RK Puram, ECIL, there is lot of scope to track the immigrant population.



Locational advantages of East Hyderabad

Good local talent:
· Nearly 40 to 50 lakh city populations under the age of 25 years reside here, and are actively looking for jobs.
· Probability of availability of talented individuals is more in these areas due to presence of good institutions
· Hundreds of good schools and colleges are already established – HPS, Little Flower, St. Anns, Kendriya Vidyalaya, etc.
· Lot of engineering, pharmacy and management colleges – OU, CVR, Aurora, Srinidhi, etc.
· Youth coming form well educated and social family backgrounds are present. The population here is well connected with city’s cosmopolitan culture. Hence, they make up for the quality human resources.

Easy and convenient commute
· Easy to reach from center of the city – 20 min from Sec’bad/Nallakunta/Begumpet; 30 min from Himayathnagar/Narayanguda/Abids
· Direct road connecting A.S.Rao Nagar to Secunderabad
· Inner ring road – one of the widest roads in the city
· Close to outer ring road& International airport – 45 min from Uppal Ring Road
· 2 highways passing through it – 202 (Hyderabad to Chattisgarh) – 6 Lane highway & NH9 (Pune to Machilipatnam)
· Good rail and road network– makes it easy to commute – has metro rail line passing through Habsiguda, Uppal and Nagole with major terminal at Uppal and L.B.Nagar

Good living environment and facilities
· You can find a good number of residential colonies. Areas like Hubsiguda, Tarnaka, Ramanthapur, A.S. Rao Nagar and Uppal have well organized colonies
· Good social environment –lot of state and central govt. employees live in ECIL, A.S.Rao Nagar and Uppal
· Close to good neighborhoods– Secunderabad, Mettuguda, Marredpally, Sainikpuri, etc. People here are well educated, have cosmopolitan outlook, have social and cultural values and are pure urbanites (living in the city since years)
· Access to good number of city clubs – Nizam Club, Hyderabad Boats Club, Deccan Club
· Easy to get domestic help. This makes it easy to manage life, as few villages surrounding these areas have people willing to serve as house-maids
· High level of ground water, as Musi flows from West to East
· Shopping complexes and vegetable markets within 15 min reach of residential colonies
· Hospitals in 15 to 20 min reach – Kamineni, Gandhi, etc.

Commercial establishments
With Uppal Industrial Development Area (IDA) and many other state and central govt. establishments like ECIL, IICT, CCMB, ATI-EPI, NFL, BPCL & IBP, FCI, L&T ECC Infrastructure, Ashok Leyland, HPCL, HEL (Hindustan Electricals Ltd.), Doordarshan, NIN, NGRI, Survey of India, Tata Institute, GSI, etc. in place since many years, East Hyderabad is not new to industrial development. Rather it has much organized planning for industrial development, when compared to Western Hyderabad. Genpact already has a big office at Uppal.


List of upcoming and notified SEZs
There are many SEZ’s that are notified in the east Hyderabad. Few areas with high number of notified SEZs are – Uppal, Adibatla, Pocharam village and Narapally. Some of the major upcoming organizations in this area in next few years are:

· Infosys, Pocharam
· IBM Center
· TCS, Adibatla
· Tata Aero Space, Adibatla
· Mind Space, Pocharam
· Genpact India Business Processing Pvt. Ltd., Shameerpet
· Cognizant Technology Solutions, Pvt. Ltd., Adibatla
East Hyderabad has been one of the greatly neglected areas in the city. This is high time the upcoming IT/ITES companies realize and capture the huge potential that this area offers. Further, this part has more advantages than the West Hyderabad, mainly in terms of good quality human resource – key for the strategic development of good, professional organizations.

Hyderabad’s aerospace hub bets on first-mover advantage
Date: Sep25, 2012
HYDERABAD:
The country’s first aerospace and precision engineering special economic zone (SEZ) is taking shape at a location close to the Hyderabad international airport.
This emerging aerospace manufacturing cluster at Adibatla will focus on defence equipment, commercial aircraft components, testing and calibration labs, a commercial MRO and flying training hub. It will also include design and development of satellites.
According to S. Ramadorai, Chairman of Tata Elxsi and Vice-Chairman of Tata Consultancy Services, “the Tata initiative that has brought international presence here can trigger a larger developmental advantage for this whole area as an Aero Cluster,” he feels.
Tata Advanced Systems, in partnership with Lockheed Martin, has built a top-notch facility from where it has begun deliveries of the centre wing box to be used in planes.
From no employee in 2009, this unit now has 700 aerospace professionals, meeting all aerospace technical standards.
“You will be amazed that the average age of the employees in three Tata facilities is only 23 years. An academy has been set up to train young engineers and mechanics to global standards of aerospace, adding to the national talent pool,” Ramadorai says .
Although traditionally one would associate aircraft clusters with Montreal, Seattle, Toronto and Toulouse, international outsourcing has produced spillovers and created new poles of growth, mainly in Southeast Asia.
POISED TO TAKE-OFF
With India spending as much as $36 billion (data for 2009) on its defence needs — among the top 10 globally — Hyderabad is well placed for defence and aerospace activities, since the city provides an ecosystem for the sector. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd already has an Avionics Division, there are several defence laboratories, and active defence equipment and component manufacturers here.
Global leaders in aerospace have also set up their technology and engineering service support centres in Hyderabad. With over 700 engineering colleges and technical institutes, talent supply is not a constraint , according to Ramadorai.
COST ADVANTAGE
Global interest in India is on the rise not just due to defence offsets but also due to pressure on defence budgets in the US and the UK and their inability to leverage China as a production base. The country, therefore, enjoys cost advantages to serve and supply globally.
The Tatas have successfully tried to jumpstart a set of inter-related businesses in and around Hyderabad.
Their initial India-based Sikorsky helicopter fuselage assembly facility had found takers with upstream aerospace component manufacturers. It was then re-located to India and co-located with the assembly facility.
In turn, given the pool of technical and managerial skills developing here, Lockheed Martin is now more confident about relocating their Empennage assembly facility from the US to a location close to the other Tata Aerospace projects.
Already, significant interest has been generated across the world in what Hyderabad’s aerospace hub has to offer. Global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have stated that the existing production base in India is insufficient to address offset opportunities.
Like IT, the aerospace sector is very attractive to the local community because of the quality of jobs and fiscal benefits they create.
With the aerospace and defence industry going through very interesting times, the Hyderabad aero hub has the first-mover advantage.

Officialsourcessaid nearly 510 acres given to APIIC in Ibrahimpatnam Bagayath and Ibrahimpatnam Khalsa was allotted to Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL).Of 400 acres sought by the corporation at Kongara Kalan village for a rice hub,332 acres has already been handed over while about 70 acresconsistsof assigned land,a quarry and a thanda.


In Adibhatla village,theAPIIC sought 540 acres of land covered by a school,graveyard,Phirangi nala and an R&B department road.The alienation proposals have been sent to CCLA.Apart from this land,the district administration is in the process of acquiring assignedlandfor APIIC at Elimedu village,where the corporation has askedfor 560 acres (Survey Nos512,421/1 and 166) and 330 acres at Ibrahimpatnam Khalsa village (Survey Nos 1103,1146 and 548) for various industrial purpose.
