South Bangalore IT corridor with Infosys, Wipro, and TCS campuses. Growing commercial hub.

About Electronic City

Electronic City is India\'s first dedicated IT park, established in 1978, and remains one of the country\'s most significant technology hubs. Spanning over 800 acres in two phases, it houses major campuses of Infosys (whose sprawling campus with its distinctive glass buildings is a landmark), Wipro, TCS, HCL, and numerous other technology companies.

Phase 1 is the more established area with the largest corporate campuses and better surrounding infrastructure. Phase 2, to the south, is newer with growing development. The Electronic City Elevated Expressway (ECEE), opened in 2014, connects Electronic City to the rest of Bangalore more efficiently, though traffic remains a significant challenge.

The area around Electronic City has developed shopping centres, restaurants, and residential communities to serve the tech workforce. Hotels like Clarks Exotica, Fortune Select, and various serviced apartments cater to business visitors. The area is primarily a business destination — most leisure attractions are in central Bangalore, about 20 km north. For business travelers, Electronic City offers proximity to major IT campuses and a quieter, less urban environment than Whitefield.

Good to Know

Late Night Transport

After midnight, Uber/Ola from the airport to Electronic City cost INR 1,500-2,200 and take about 75-90 minutes. No airport bus runs directly to Electronic City. Many IT companies and hotels arrange dedicated airport transfers. Late-night travel on Hosur Road is smooth and safe.

Luggage Tips

For this long journey, comfort is a priority. Book Uber Premier or Ola Prime for better vehicles. Standard sedans handle business luggage easily. Consider bringing entertainment or work for the car — daytime trips can be very long.

Accessibility

Electronic City's tech parks (Infosys campus in particular) are modern and wheelchair accessible. Hotels vary in accessibility. Namma Metro Yellow Line extension to Electronic City is under development. Currently, road transport is the only option for the airport-to-Electronic City route. Public sidewalks are poor throughout.
