Mumbai, Maharashtra, 3rd of February, 2026 : Quote by Mr. Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder and CEO of ASBL
“As a developer rooted in Hyderabad’s growth journey, ASBL sees the Union Budget 2026 as a clear signal that the city is being positioned as a strategic anchor in India’s next phase of connectivity-led development. The proposed high-speed rail network linking Hyderabad with Bengaluru, Chennai, and Pune is not merely about faster travel, it establishes Hyderabad as the central convergence point of India’s most powerful economic ecosystems.
Bengaluru may lead in IT, Chennai in manufacturing, and Pune in industrial-technology integration, but Hyderabad already integrates all three at scale and more. As India’s largest pharmaceutical hub, a rapidly expanding GCC powerhouse, and a growing centre for aerospace and advanced manufacturing, the city is uniquely placed to extract maximum economic value from this tri-city connectivity. This infrastructure will not distribute growth evenly, it will compound it where capability already exists, and Hyderabad stands to gain the most.
With over 355–360 Global Capability Centres employing more than 3,00,000 professionals, the addition of 35 Fortune 500 GCCs in 2025 alone, and sustained investment momentum across life sciences and technology, enhanced rail connectivity will further accelerate capital inflows, high-quality job creation, and GDP expansion for the city.
At a national level, the Budget’s emphasis on improved credit access, asset monetisation, and REIT-driven capital participation reinforces long-term confidence in real estate and infrastructure. As India’s real estate sector advances towards a $1 trillion valuation by 2030, cities like Hyderabad where economic depth, infrastructure readiness, and livability already converge, will lead the next cycle of urban and investment growth.”
