Hyderabad, January 9, 2026 – Facebook India Online Services Pvt Ltd, the Indian arm of Meta Platforms Inc., has further expanded its footprint in Hyderabad by leasing nearly 69,702 square feet of premium office space in Hitec City, one of India’s most prominent technology corridors. The move underlines Hyderabad’s growing importance as a preferred destination for global technology companies and Global Capability Centres (GCCs).
According to documents accessed by real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, the company has signed a five-year lease at the Skyview 20 building in The Skyview commercial complex. The property is owned by Mahanga Commercial Properties Pvt Ltd.
Lease Details and Commercial Terms
The lease agreement was executed on December 2, 2025, with rent commencement starting from December 18, 2025. Facebook India will pay a monthly rent of approximately ₹67 lakh, translating to rentals of nearly ₹96 per sq ft, which places the deal among the premium office transactions in Hyderabad’s IT market.
As per the agreement, the rental value will see a 15% escalation after three years, reflecting strong confidence in long-term office demand and the sustained attractiveness of Grade-A commercial assets in the city.
Hyderabad’s Longstanding Relationship With Meta
Hyderabad has been central to Meta’s India operations for over a decade. The company opened its first India office in Hyderabad in 2010 and has since steadily increased its presence, leveraging the city’s deep technology talent pool, cost advantages, and mature office infrastructure.
The latest lease signals Meta’s continued commitment to Hyderabad as a strategic base for its Indian operations, even as global technology firms reassess office strategies in a post-pandemic environment.
Hitec City Strengthens Its Position as a GCC Hub
Industry experts believe the transaction highlights Hyderabad’s strength as a resilient and institutionalized office market. Abhishek Kiran Gupta, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of CRE Matrix, noted that such large-format leases reflect occupiers’ willingness to pay a premium for quality assets.
“The Facebook India lease at Skyview 20 underscores Hyderabad’s continued strength as a strategic GCC and technology hub. A nearly 70,000 sq ft transaction at these rentals reflects strong demand for Grade-A assets offering scale, infrastructure, and long-term flexibility,” he said.
He added that deals of this nature reinforce Hitec City’s status as one of India’s most stable and sought-after office micro-markets, particularly among global technology and digital-first enterprises.
Broader Market Context
Hyderabad has emerged as a key beneficiary of the ongoing GCC expansion wave in India. Over the past few years, the city has attracted global players across technology, banking, pharmaceuticals, aviation, and digital services, driving sustained demand for high-quality commercial real estate.
With competitive rentals compared to Bengaluru and Mumbai, robust infrastructure, proactive state policies, and a growing ecosystem of global firms, Hyderabad continues to strengthen its position as a preferred destination for long-term office investments.
The Facebook India lease further validates Hyderabad’s evolution from a traditional IT outsourcing hub into a strategic global operations and innovation centre for multinational corporations.
