Klocwork in Hyderabad

Hyderabad is one of India's major semiconductor design and VLSI centres, with global semiconductor engineering teams, including operations from Intel, clustered across HITEC City, Madhapur, Gachibowli, and Raidurg. The Telangana government's Electronics Policy and T-Hub innovation ecosystem support semiconductor, fabless design, and IoT growth, and the state has announced major semiconductor manufacturing investments in the Kandi–Zaheerabad corridor. HITEC City's SEZs host dense IC design services, chip verification, and EDA R&D operations, while defence electronics demand is anchored by major defence R&D laboratories and a defence PSU cluster in the Kanchanbagh / Balapur area. Genome Valley at Shamirpet concentrates pharma, medical device, and diagnostic electronics R&D. The Hyderabad aerospace cluster at Adibatla hosts a growing private aerospace-defence manufacturing ecosystem, making the metro a strong market for embedded test, functional safety, and high-reliability engineering tools across semiconductor, medical, and aerospace workflows.
