German companies are increasingly looking to invest in Hyderabad and establish global capability centres (GCCs), German Consul General Michael Hasper said during Day Of German Unity 2026 celebrations in the city.
Hasper said Hyderabad was emerging as an important technology hub for German businesses. He identified research and development, product development, information technology and artificial intelligence as key areas attracting German investment.
German business interest in Hyderabad
Speaking to PTI Videos, Hasper said German companies were showing particular interest in setting up GCCs in Hyderabad. These centres can support functions such as technology, research and product development, although he did not provide a number of companies or the value of planned investments.
“Indo-German economic relations have never been as close as they are today. We see a lot of German companies coming to Hyderabad, in particular, setting up GCCs here,” he said.
The remarks point to Hyderabad's growing relevance for German businesses seeking technology and innovation capabilities in India. The areas mentioned by Hasper include both technology services and specialised work connected with research and product development.
What the announcement means
For Hyderabad, increased German corporate interest could bring further activity in technology, research and development, product development and artificial intelligence. Hasper's comments, however, describe an investment trend and business interest rather than announcing a specific project, company, investment amount or employment figure.
