Infosys is expanding its delivery capacity in northern India with a new investment aimed at scaling up its development centre in Mohali, underscoring the company’s continued push to broaden its footprint beyond traditional technology hubs. The development was reported by The Economic Times in an article titled “Infosys expands Mohali centre with Rs 290 crore investment to add 3000 seats,” published on the newspaper’s website.
According to the report, the Bengaluru-based IT services major plans to invest about Rs 290 crore to expand its existing facility in Mohali, Punjab. The expansion will add roughly 3,000 seats to the campus, significantly increasing its operational capacity and reinforcing the region’s growing role in India’s technology services ecosystem.
The investment reflects a broader trend among large Indian technology companies to deepen their presence in emerging technology corridors outside established centres such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune. Mohali, part of the Chandigarh tri-city region, has increasingly attracted technology firms due to its skilled talent pool, improving infrastructure, and proximity to educational institutions that produce engineering and technical graduates.
The expansion is also expected to contribute to job creation and strengthen the region’s economic prospects. With additional seating capacity typically corresponding to new delivery teams and project operations, the move signals continued demand for technology services across global markets where Infosys operates. The company has in recent years focused on scaling delivery centres that support digital transformation, cloud services, artificial intelligence, and enterprise modernization initiatives for clients worldwide.
State authorities have also sought to position Punjab as a competitive destination for technology and knowledge-sector investments. Large-scale expansions by firms such as Infosys can help anchor this strategy by bringing high-skilled employment opportunities and encouraging the development of complementary ecosystems, including suppliers, startups, and training institutions.
As the technology services industry navigates changing macroeconomic conditions and evolving client priorities, infrastructure investments like the Mohali expansion reflect how major IT companies continue to rebalance their geographic strategies. By spreading delivery capability across multiple cities, firms can tap varied talent pools, manage costs, and build operational resilience while sustaining long-term growth.
