Flats Near Infocity & IT Park Bhubaneswar: Best Locations for IT Professionals
Bhubaneswar’s IT sector has grown faster than almost any other industry in the city over the last decade. Infocity at Chandrasekharpur, Infovalley, and the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) campus have collectively made Bhubaneswar one of eastern India’s key technology destinations. For most IT professionals, the single most important factor when buying or renting a flat is commute time to their office.
If you work in Infocity, Infovalley, or any of the IT campuses in Bhubaneswar’s eastern corridor, this guide gives you the clearest breakdown of which locations to target, what the commute looks like, what flats cost, and which projects are worth your attention.
Where Are the IT Parks in Bhubaneswar?
Infocity (IDCO Tower Area), Chandrasekharpur: The primary IT hub. Home to Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, NASSCOM, and dozens of mid-size IT firms. Located along the Chandrasekharpur-Patia corridor.
Infovalley, Patia: Adjacent to Infocity, this zone has additional IT and ITES companies along with co-working spaces and startups.
STPI (Software Technology Parks of India), Bhubaneswar: Located in the Jaydev Vihar area, another concentration of software exporters and tech companies.
Neopolis / New IT Zones: Several new IT SEZs and campus-style offices are coming up along the Patia-Khandagiri corridor and the NH-16 ring road.
Best Residential Locations for IT Professionals in Bhubaneswar
Patia — Closest to Infocity (5-15 min commute, Rs.5,000-Rs.7,000/sq ft)
Patia is the go-to residential zone for IT professionals. It is literally adjacent to the Chandrasekharpur campus, meaning a 5-10 minute morning commute. The area has excellent social infrastructure: malls, restaurants, schools, and hospitals are all within easy reach. Demand for both rental and purchase is consistently the highest of any Bhubaneswar residential zone. Rental yields in Patia: 2.5-3.5% per annum, one of the highest in the city.
Chandrasekharpur — Walking Distance for Some (5-10 min commute, Rs.5,500-Rs.7,500/sq ft)
Chandrasekharpur blends residential and commercial, with many mid-size IT offices directly in the locality. Gated apartments here have strong rental demand from working professionals. For buyers who want to live as close as possible to their workplace, CS Pur is one of the best options — though supply of quality new apartments is limited.
Jharapada — Emerging IT-Adjacent Zone (15-25 min commute, Rs.5,000-Rs.7,500/sq ft)
Jharapada sits between the old city and the IT corridor. It offers something Patia often cannot — space, newer construction, and lifestyle-forward projects designed for modern living. Khushi Vega’s Duo Towers at Jharapada is a prime example: a cosmopolitan 3 BHK project with premium amenities, 60% open space, and a Jharapada address that is 20 minutes from Infocity by car or bike.
For IT professionals who want a premium apartment without the premium-priced Patia market, Jharapada is the most compelling alternative in 2026.
Nayapalli / IRC Village — Premium Choice (20-30 min commute, Rs.6,000-Rs.9,000/sq ft)
For senior IT professionals and managers who prioritise prestige address and quality of life over commute proximity, Nayapalli and IRC Village offer Bhubaneswar’s most established residential environment. Prices are high and supply is low — but if your budget allows, the quality of life is unmatched.
Pahala — For Those Who Prioritise Space and Value (30-45 min commute, Rs.4,200-Rs.5,800/sq ft)
Pahala may not be the obvious choice for an IT professional prioritising commute. But with Bhubaneswar’s improving ring road connectivity and the NH-16 corridor, the commute from Pahala to Infocity is increasingly manageable. And the trade-off is significant: you get 20-30% more space for the same budget, in a cleaner, greener environment. Khushi Capella at Pahala — a 242-unit township with 2/3/4 BHK flats — is popular with IT families who prefer spacious living over a shorter commute.
What IT Professionals Should Look for in a Flat Near Infocity
Metro connectivity (upcoming): Bhubaneswar Metro Phase 1 is planned along the Chandrasekharpur corridor. Flats near proposed metro stations — particularly in Patia, CS Pur, and Jharapada — stand to benefit significantly in terms of both convenience and property value appreciation.
Backup power: IT professionals working from home need reliable power backup. Check the project’s DG set capacity and backup coverage (full unit backup vs common area only).
High-speed internet infrastructure: Check whether the project supports optical fibre connectivity (Airtel Xstream, Jio Fibre, or BroadLine) and whether the builder has pre-wired the building for high-bandwidth connections.
Co-working and study spaces inside the project: Many IT professionals work remotely at least part of the week. A project with a co-working lounge or business centre inside the club adds genuine daily value.
Should You Buy or Rent Near Infocity?
If you are an IT professional in Bhubaneswar on a long-term contract or as a permanent employee, buying makes strong financial sense. Rental yields in Patia and CS Pur are 2.5-3.5%, meaning your rental income if you ever move will easily cover a significant portion of your EMI.
Additionally, property prices in the Infocity corridor have appreciated 8-12% annually over the last 5 years — meaning early buyers have seen substantial wealth creation. Waiting is not likely to make property cheaper.
Khushi Vega at Jharapada offers IT professionals a premium 3 BHK lifestyle address — 20 minutes from Infocity, with duo towers, 60% open space, and terrace amenities. Book a site visit.
