What is Hinjewadi IT Park? Hinjewadi IT Park, officially the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park (RGIP), is India’s largest IT-led business park by acreage. Spread across roughly 2,800 acres in western Pune and developed by MIDC, it houses 800+ companies and an estimated 4.5 lakh working professionals across three sequenced phases.
When Infosys broke ground on Plot 1 here in the late 1990s, the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park was 600 acres of empty MIDC land outside Pune. Twenty-five years on, that single plot has multiplied into Hinjewadi IT Park – 2,800 acres, three sequenced phases and 800+ companies including TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra and a long tail of global captives and product engineering centres. About 4.5 lakh people clock in here on a working day. It is the engine that turned Pune into India’s second-biggest IT city after Bangalore.
This guide breaks it down phase by phase: where each anchor tenant actually sits, what the workday inside the park looks like, what Pune Metro Line 3 changes in April 2026, and what your options are if you need office space here but don’t have 200 seats to fill. If you’re a smaller team scouting the area, you’ll find verified coworking spaces in Hinjewadi are a far more realistic starting point than chasing a direct RGIP lease.
Hinjewadi IT Park at a glance
Hinjewadi IT Park is one zone with three distinct phases, not a single campus. The whole notified area sits in western Pune, off the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, about 22 km from Pune Airport and 17 km from Shivajinagar. It’s administered by MIDC, with tenant matters handled by the Hinjewadi Industries Association (HIA).
A few numbers to anchor the scale. Roughly 2,800 acres across all three phases, as notified by MIDC. More than 800 companies on the Hinjewadi Industries Association (HIA) member rolls, including 150+ industries of meaningful size. An estimated 4.5 to 5 lakh professionals show up on a regular working day. Grade A rents inside the park run ₹65-85 per sq ft per month in 2025 across the deals our ANAROCK-group commercial team tracks, with the newer Phase 3 stock trading closer to the upper end. Pincode for most of Phase 1 and 2 is 411057; Phase 3 (Maan-Hinjewadi) shares 411057 and parts of 411056.
The park is one of the most studied examples among IT parks driving coworking demand in Pune, simply because of how many employees it pulls in daily.
Quick Recap: Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park spans ~2,800 acres in western Pune, hosts 800+ companies and sees ~4.5 lakh professionals daily across three phases.
The phase-wise map: Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 explained
The three phases sit next to each other but came up at different times, with different tenant profiles and different commute realities. Phase 1 is the oldest and most central. Phase 2 sits a little further west and is denser. Phase 3, in Maan, is the newest, biggest by area, and where the metro terminus lands.
Here’s a side-by-side view.
| Attribute | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Approximate area | ~600 acres | ~600 acres | ~1,500-1,600 acres |
| Year operational | Early 2000s | Mid-2000s | Late 2000s onwards, still expanding |
| Anchor tenants | Infosys, Wipro, HCLTech, Persistent, Accenture | Infosys SEZ, Cognizant, IBM, Capgemini, Birlasoft, KPIT | TCS (Sahyadri Park), Tech Mahindra, additional Infosys/Wipro/Cognizant |
| Notable plots | Plot 1 (Infosys), Plot 2 (Wipro), Plot 6/8 (HCL), Plot 39 (Persistent), Qubix Business Park | Infosys SEZ blocks, Cognizant campus, IBM tower | TCS Sahyadri Park, Tech Mahindra campus, Maan IT cluster |
| SEZ status | Mixed (mostly non-SEZ) | Larger SEZ presence (Infosys SEZ) | Significant SEZ blocks |
| Metro accessibility (Line 3) | Nearest: Hinjewadi Phase 1 / Wakad stations | Nearest: Hinjewadi Phase 2 station | Terminus at Hinjewadi Phase 3 (Maan) |
The practical takeaway: which phase your office sits in changes where you’ll want to live, how long your commute will be, and how much the metro will help you in 2026.
Quick Recap: Phase 1 is the original anchor cluster, Phase 2 is the densest SEZ zone, and Phase 3 is the largest and the metro terminus.
Companies inside Hinjewadi IT Park: the tenant map
Hinjewadi IT Park’s tenant list reads like a directory of Indian IT services plus a long tail of global captives and product companies. Most of the marquee names have multiple campuses spread across phases – Infosys, for instance, has its original campus in Phase 1 and a much larger SEZ in Phase 2. TCS sits almost entirely in Phase 3, at Sahyadri Park. Tech Mahindra is also a Phase 3 anchor.
Outside services, you’ll find Honeywell, Siemens, Oracle, Dell, Robert Bosch, Google and Mastek operating inside the wider Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park footprint, alongside a handful of pharma and engineering R&D units.
| Company | Phase | Sector |
|---|---|---|
| Infosys | Phase 1 + Phase 2 (SEZ) | IT services |
| TCS (Sahyadri Park) | Phase 3 | IT services |
| Wipro | Phase 1 (Plot 2) | IT services |
| Cognizant | Phase 2 | IT services |
| Persistent Systems | Phase 1 (Plot 39) | Product engineering |
| HCLTech | Phase 1 (Plot 6 & 8) | IT services |
| Tech Mahindra | Phase 3 | IT services |
| Capgemini | Phase 2 | IT and consulting |
| IBM India | Phase 2 | IT services |
| Mindtree | Phase 2 | IT services |
| Accenture | Phase 1 (Qubix Business Park) | IT and consulting |
| Mphasis | Phase 3 | IT services |
Phase 2 has the densest tenant mix by company count. Phase 3 has the largest single campuses by headcount. Phase 1 is where the original anchors are, and it tends to feel a little more lived-in than the rest.
Quick Recap: Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Persistent and Accenture anchor Phase 1; Cognizant, IBM and Capgemini anchor Phase 2; TCS and Tech Mahindra anchor Phase 3.
The traffic question – and what Metro Line 3 changes in 2026
If you ask anyone working in Hinjewadi what the single hardest part of the job is, you’ll get the same answer: the commute. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway-Wakad-Hinjewadi stretch is one of the most congested IT-corridor approaches in the country. Peak-hour speeds drop to 8-12 km/h. A 9 km trip from Wakad can take 45 minutes on a bad evening. That’s the reason a generation of Hinjewadi employees ended up living within 6-8 km of the park – in Wakad, Punawale, Tathawade, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Balewadi.
Pune Metro Line 3, the elevated Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor being built by PMRDA in partnership with Tata Group and Siemens, is the structural fix. The line is 23 km long, fully elevated, with 23 stations, and connects the Phase 3 terminus all the way to Shivajinagar Civil Court. Partial operations are expected in April 2026 per PMRDA’s latest project update, with full operations soon after. Once running, the Hinjewadi-to-Shivajinagar trip drops from 90-120 minutes by road to roughly 40-45 minutes by metro.
The market is already pricing this in. Residential rates in Hinjawadi are up roughly 20% year-on-year in 2025, and homes within 1-2 km of metro stations have moved up 15-25%. If you’re scouting workspace, also look at coworking near Pune metro stations to plan around the new line.
Quick Recap: Pune Metro Line 3 starts partial operations in April 2026 and cuts the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar trip from 90+ minutes to ~45 minutes.
Inside the park: amenities and what the workday actually looks like
The day inside RGIP looks different from any single-occupier office park. Each major campus runs its own food courts, cafes, gyms and shuttle networks. Infosys and TCS have full-service campuses with cricket grounds, libraries and on-site clinics. Most other tenants share the wider park’s food streets and amenities.
For lunch and meetings outside the office, the usual spots are the food street near Plot 6-8 in Phase 1, the cafe cluster around Qubix Business Park, and the eateries lining the road to Phase 2. For shopping or a weekend out, Xion Mall in Hinjawadi is on-site, Mariplex Mall is a 10-minute drive in Wakad, and Westend Mall in Aundh-Baner is the larger weekend option. Healthcare is well-covered – Manipal Hospital in Baner and Lifepoint in Wakad are the most-used by tenant employees.
Inside the campuses themselves, expect tight security, RFID gates, visitor pre-registration and dedicated cab pickup bays. The park feels less like a single workplace and more like a small city that empties out by 9 pm.
Quick Recap: Each Hinjewadi IT Park campus runs its own amenities; Xion Mall, Mariplex and the Phase 1 food street cover most off-campus needs.
Office-space reality inside Hinjewadi IT Park: rents, leases and who can move in
Direct office leases inside Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park are not built for small teams. Most of the available Grade A inventory inside the park is configured for 200-seat-and-above occupiers, with full floors trading between ₹65 and ₹85 per sq ft per month in 2025. Newer Phase 3 buildings sit at the top of that range; older Phase 1 stock can be found at ₹55-70 per sq ft. Add fit-out cost (₹1,500-2,500 per sq ft, recovered over the lease), security deposit of 6-12 months, and a typical 3-5 year lock-in.
That math works for an Infosys, a TCS or a 300-seat global captive. It doesn’t work for a 25-person product team or a 60-seat services startup. The other practical issue: a lot of inventory inside Phase 2’s SEZ blocks is restricted to SEZ-eligible tenants only, which most growth-stage companies are not.
Note: Lease terms, SEZ eligibility and stamp duty inside RGIP can vary plot to plot. Verify the specific building’s tenant covenants with MIDC or a commercial real estate advisor before signing.
If you’re trying to figure out whether Hinjewadi is realistic for your team at all, this piece on choosing the right office location in Pune walks through the tradeoffs between IT-park submarkets.
Quick Recap: Direct leases inside Hinjewadi IT Park work above 200 seats at ₹65-85 per sq ft; smaller teams need a different route.
Flexible workspace options near Hinjewadi IT Park
For teams that can’t take a direct RGIP lease, flexible workspace in and around Hinjewadi is the standard answer. The Hinjawadi locality itself – the wider catchment around the park, including Phase 1 fringes, Phase 2 access roads and Maan – has one of the largest pools of flexible-space supply in Pune. Coworking dedicated seats in Hinjawadi run roughly ₹3,899 to ₹15,599 per seat per month, depending on the property’s grade and proximity to the park gates.
That entry point makes Hinjawadi the most affordable major IT-park locality in Pune for flexible space – lower than Kharadi (₹5,999+) and lower than most Baner/Aundh stock. The closer you get to Phase 3 (and to the upcoming metro line), the more the new builds command. The further out you go toward Wakad and Punawale, the more you can negotiate.
If you’re trying to compare across the city before settling on Hinjewadi, this breakdown of coworking space cost in Pune by locality is the quickest way to benchmark. For a wider view of what’s available citywide, you can also browse the full list of coworking spaces in Pune across all major business hubs.

Quick Recap: Coworking near Hinjewadi starts at ₹3,899 per seat – the most affordable major IT-park locality in Pune for flexible space.

What is the official name of Hinjewadi IT Park?
The official name is Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, abbreviated as RGIP. The park was developed and is administered by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Almost no one uses the official name in conversation – locals, employees and tenants call it Hinjewadi or Hinjawadi (both spellings appear in official records).
When will Pune Metro reach Hinjewadi?
Pune Metro Line 3 – the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar corridor – is expected to begin partial operations in April 2026. The line is 23 km long, fully elevated, with 23 stations, and terminates at Hinjewadi Phase 3. Once running, the Hinjewadi-Shivajinagar commute drops from 90-120 minutes by road to about 40-45 minutes.
Can a small team get office space inside Hinjewadi IT Park?
Not directly. Most Grade A inventory inside Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park is configured for 200+ seat occupiers on 3-5 year leases. Smaller teams take coworking or managed office space in the Hinjawadi locality, Wakad or Balewadi instead – costs start around ₹3,899 per seat per month for dedicated coworking.
Which phase of Hinjewadi has the most companies?
Phase 2 has the densest tenant mix by company count, anchored by Infosys SEZ, Cognizant, IBM, Capgemini, Birlasoft, KPIT and Mindtree. Phase 3 is larger by area and houses the bigger single campuses (TCS Sahyadri Park, Tech Mahindra). Phase 1 has the original anchor tenants – Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Persistent and Accenture.
Conclusion
Hinjewadi IT Park is less a single workplace and more a small working city – 2,800 acres, 800+ companies, three phases that feel meaningfully different from each other once you spend a week here. Phase 1 is the heritage cluster, Phase 2 is the densest tenant mix, Phase 3 is where the future is being built and where the metro line terminates in April 2026. If you’re moving jobs into the park, the phase your campus sits in genuinely changes your daily life – pick where you live accordingly.
For teams looking to set up here, the realistic split is simple: 200+ seats can lease direct inside RGIP; everyone else takes flexible space in the Hinjawadi catchment. If you’re sizing up that second route, myHQ – India’s largest managed workspace marketplace, backed by the ANAROCK Group, with 5,000+ verified properties across 35+ cities – lists 168 vetted options in the Hinjawadi catchment, and our advisors negotiate the price for you at zero brokerage.
