Introduction
In this fifth article of our ‘Zonal Analytics’ series, we examine the building construction landscape of the South Zone during FY 2024–25.

The South zone continued to emerge as a dynamic hub for IT and commercial infrastructure during FY 2024–25, supported by steady growth in residential construction and balanced development across multiple segments. Building on this momentum, the Karnataka Government launched the SWIFT City project near Sarjapur and introduced the Global Capability Centres (GCC) Policy 2024. The policy aimed to facilitate the establishment of 500 new GCCs by 2029, targeting an economic output of 50 US$-Billion and creating nearly 3.5 Lakh jobs.
Meanwhile, the Telangana Government approved 11,000 INR-Crore for constructing 55 Young India Integrated Residential Schools (YIRS). Each school was planned on 20–25 Acre and included a dedicated sports complex, contributing to the state’s education and institutional infrastructure. These strategic moves underlined the state’s commitment to strengthening its education ecosystem and digital economy.
