The company revealed a ₹500 crore outlay to enlarge its Lucknow IT City, boosting capacity by 9.5 lakh square feet—a 30% increase over the current footprint.
HCLTech plans to create 4,500 new tech roles, a 12% rise in the site’s workforce, while the campus already hosts 12,500 employees and supports 150 global enterprises.
In tandem with the physical expansion, HCLTech will train 1,000 students in AI through its LITMUS programme in FY27, building on a 20% uptick in its tech‑skills pipeline this year.
The investment aligns with the company’s broader commitment to talent development, reflected in the TechBee and HCL‑GUVI Emerging Technology Centres that have already placed more than 2,200 graduates into the tech ecosystem.
Investors will watch how the new capacity translates into revenue growth, as HCLTech’s FY25 guidance projects a 15% rise in operating margin driven by higher utilization of the expanded campus.
