Hosur Industrial Area: The Strategic Engine of South India’s Manufacturing & Logistics Corridor
Unlock the potential of South India’s fastest-growing industrial hub. The Hosur Industrial Area offers world-class infrastructure, direct connectivity to the Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway, and a thriving ecosystem for global EV, electronics, and automotive giants.
As the industrial landscape of South India evolves, the Hosur Industrial Area has emerged as the definitive destination for businesses seeking scalability, operational efficiency, and strategic positioning. Located at the strategic border of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu on NH-44, this zone is no longer just a satellite of Bengaluru; it is a manufacturing powerhouse in its own right.
Home to global automotive majors, cutting-edge Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturers, precision engineering firms, and high-tech electronics giants, the industrial area in Hosur represents the future of advanced manufacturing. Whether you are an OEM looking for a compliant base under Tamil Nadu’s favourable industrial policies or a logistics 3PL seeking rapid transit times to Bengaluru, Hosur offers the perfect ecosystem.
Pioneering the Hosur Industrial Area with Unprecedented Transformation
The Krishnagiri district, anchored by Hosur, has long been a vital part of India's manufacturing sector, often dubbed the "Little England" for its favourable climate. However, as traditional tech and industrial hubs in Bengaluru like Peenya and Electronic City reach saturation, the Hosur Industrial Area has risen to meet the demand for modern, expansive, and compliant industrial spaces.
A Hub for Global Giants
The city is home to giants of the global industrial world, making it the prime location for a booming industrial ecosystem. Over 3,000 MSMEs, along with cutting-edge heavy manufacturing plants, have set foot in this region. Hosur’s industrial growth has attracted a massive spike in the automobile, EV, aerospace, and electronics sectors. Industry stalwarts such as Ashok Leyland, TVS Motor Company, Tata Electronics, and Titan have established their strongholds here, creating a self-sustaining industrial economy.
The Surge in Warehousing Demand
With the push for the "China-Plus-One" strategy and the "Make in India" initiative, demand for Grade-A industrial space is on a sharp rise. The industrial area in Hosur is witnessing a surge driven by the rapid expansion of clean-tech manufacturing, contract electronics (EMS), and the 3-PL (Third Party Logistics) sector. These modern businesses require large-format, tech-enabled facilities that older industrial zones simply cannot accommodate.
In this landscape, the ESR Group, APAC’s leader in Industrial and Logistics real estate, has been a forerunner. Within the vicinity of the Hosur Industrial Area, ESR’s developments emerge as epitomes of manufacturing infrastructure. A testament to this is the recent news where ESR boosts investment in Hosur, Tamil Nadu with 85 acres of strategic expansion. With state-of-the-art technology, robust connectivity, and close proximity to a skilled workforce, these parks are the ideal choice for industries seeking to establish a remarkable presence in South India.
Discovering the Talegaon Advantage
The Hosur Industrial Area is not just a location; it is a strategic asset. Strategically located within the Tamil Nadu State Industries Promotion Corporation (SIPCOT) zones, this area benefits from a meticulously planned infrastructure that supports heavy industry and high-velocity logistics alike.
Strategic Synergy with Bengaluru
Hosur does not exist in isolation. It shares a symbiotic relationship with the neighbouring tech-capital, Bengaluru. Located just 40 km from Electronic City, Hosur serves as the critical manufacturing and logistics backyard for Karnataka’s consumption market. This proximity allows businesses in the industrial area in Hosur to seamlessly tap into Bengaluru’s R&D capabilities and talent pool while benefiting from Tamil Nadu’s lower real estate and operational costs.
Government Support and Infrastructure Investment
Hosur Airport Expansion: Plans to develop the Hosur Aerodrome for commercial air traffic to support the movement of high-value electronic goods.

Operational Efficiency
Logistics Efficiency: Wide docking aprons optimized for 40-feet container movement, reducing turnaround times for logistics companies.
Power Resilience: Robust power infrastructure tailored for high-tension (HT) industrial loads, ensuring uninterrupted production lines for battery and electronics manufacturing.
Ventilation: Buildings are designed with optimal air changes per hour for ambient temperature control, critical for maintaining workforce comfort.
Daylight Integration: Generous skylight integration ensures natural daylight permeates the shop floor, reducing electricity bills and improving worker productivity.
Safety & Compliance
Fire Safety: Internal ESFR (Early Suppression, Fast Response) sprinkler systems as per National Building Code (NBC) norms ensure fire safety for high-value inventory.
Security: 24/7 multi-tier security with AI-enabled CCTV surveillance and boom barriers ensures your assets are always protected.
