Hiranandani Group was established in 1978 by Niranjan Hiranandani and Surendra Hiranandani and is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Over four decades the group grew into one of the largest real estate developers in India, with projects across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Its signature move came in 1985, when the Hiranandani brothers acquired 250 acres of land in Powai, Mumbai, and began building what became Hiranandani Gardens and Hiranandani Estate, followed by Hiranandani Meadows in Thane. That template of large-format, self-contained community building is the lens through which the group has approached Hyderabad, where House of Hiranandani's residential footprint currently centres on Shankarpally in the city's western suburbs.
Unlike its high-rise Mumbai and Thane portfolio, Hiranandani's presence in Hyderabad is built around plotted layouts, land parcels with ready infrastructure that buyers can build on according to their own plans. The group markets its Shankarpally holding as RERA-registered residential plots positioned for the city's westward growth, describing it as infrastructure-led and planned for future growth. An earlier phase, Hiranandani Loftline in Shankarpally, is a RERA-registered, ready-to-move plotted development, with Hiranandani's own materials pointing to proximity to IIT Hyderabad and to established employers such as Microsoft and Infosys as part of the location's draw. This plotted format mirrors how the group has approached its other Hyderabad-adjacent format in Chennai's OMR corridor, where Hiranandani Thaiyur offers land inside a planned, managed environment for buyers who want to build their own homes, while completed apartment communities in Bengaluru at Devanahalli, Bannerghatta, and Hebbal are already delivered and occupied.
Shankarpally's relevance to a plotted-development player traces directly to Hyderabad's westward IT expansion. The locality is one corner of what local brokers call the Golden Triangle, the wedge bounded by Shankarpally, Muthangi, and Kokapet where the state has proposed a new IT City. A four-lane highway and a 100-feet road connecting Cyberabad to Shankarpally have been planned to compress travel time between the two, while the Outer Ring Road already threads the wider corridor and the Regional Ring Road is being built to extend that logic further out. Hiranandani's own positioning for the location leans on this geography directly, describing Shankarpally as sitting between open, greener surroundings and easy access to Gachibowli's employment belt, and calling it the kind of location that rewards patient buyers.
Shankarpally already carries functioning social infrastructure that supports a plotted-community buyer rather than only speculative land banking: St. George College of Education and IIT Hyderabad sit among its institutional landmarks, and BDL Hospital and the Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam BDL Stadium anchor civic amenities near the Hiranandani layouts. An existing railway station is expected to gain further relevance if the proposed MMTS Phase 3 expansion reaches the area. On pricing, Shankarpally has been positioned as a lower-entry alternative to saturated core micro-markets such as Gachibowli, Kondapur, and Kokapet, with brokerage estimates for 2026 placing residential rates in the roughly ₹6,500 to ₹9,500 per square foot range and citing double-digit annual appreciation as the westward IT corridor pushes outward from Kokapet's Neopolis SEZ.
Beyond housing, Hiranandani Group has diversified into health, education, and energy, a pattern visible in its flagship Mumbai township. The Hiranandani Foundation School, promoted in 1990 by the Hiranandani Foundation, began serving residents of Hiranandani Gardens and has since grown into a large CISCE, IB, and Cambridge-affiliated institution. On the healthcare side, Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital opened in Powai in February 2004, followed by a Thane hospital the same year, both named for Padma Bhushan Dr. L H Hiranandani. This institutional layering, schools, hospitals, and business parks built around residential land, is the model the group is known for wherever it plants a large plotted or township footprint, and it is the backdrop against which its Shankarpally holdings in Hyderabad should be read.
