IT Companies in MIHAN Nagpur: A Fresher's Hiring Guide

Quick answer: Local reporting in February 2026 names TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Tech Mahindra and Hexaware among the IT firms operating in MIHAN SEZ, near Nagpur airport. Each hires freshers through its own national test or campus route, not a separate Nagpur process. Pay bands change by track and hiring cycle, so check the careers page for the Nagpur job location and read the salary break-up in any offer letter.

What Is MIHAN SEZ?

MIHAN stands for Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur. It is a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) built next to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport and developed by the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC). Several IT and IT-enabled services firms operate inside the zone, alongside other businesses.

Many Nagpur tech jobs sit elsewhere in the city, such as the IT Park at Parsodi or on Wardha Road, so "MIHAN" and "Nagpur IT" are not the same thing.

Which IT Companies Operate in MIHAN?

The most consistent recent reporting is a Nagpur Today report from February 2026. It lists TCS, Infosys, HCLTech and Tech Mahindra as major IT players in the zone, and says Hexaware, GlobalLogic and InfoCepts are also operational there.

We could not find an official MIHAN SEZ company list, so treat this as reported rather than confirmed. Company names and sites can change, so check the careers page for the job location before you apply.

Routes are general summaries. Confirm the current process on each company's careers page, because selection rounds change between hiring cycles.

How Freshers Are Hired

Large IT companies in MIHAN hire freshers through their national programmes, so your Nagpur posting is usually decided after selection. Apply through the national route and state Nagpur as your location preference.

• TCS: the NQT is the main entry test. Its results decide which hiring track you are considered for.
• Infosys: campus and off-campus drives, plus HackWithInfy for coding-focused roles.
• HCLTech: graduate campus hiring, plus a separate Elite Engineer track for top talent.
• Tech Mahindra and Hexaware: campus drives, careers-portal applications and walk-in drives. Watch their careers pages for Nagpur dates.

What Freshers Are Reported to Earn

Pay figures differ across reports, and most companies do not publish fixed fresher bands. These are the figures we could find for 2026:

• HCLTech Elite Engineer: reported starting at about Rs 18 lakh a year, based on January 2026 remarks by the company, for top hires drawn from IIT and NIT talent (The Hans India, Free Press Journal).
• HCLTech regular graduate hiring: reported at about Rs 3.5 to 4.5 lakh a year (FACE Prep, Weekday). The figures are not identical across sources.
• TCS and Infosys: we have not listed fixed figures here, because the reports we reviewed disagree on track-level pay.

Note: CTC is not take-home pay. Deductions such as provident fund reduce the monthly amount, so read the salary break-up in your offer letter.

What the Higher Tracks Test

HCLTech's own remarks tie its Elite Engineer track to AI and data skills, and reporting says the track screen goes beyond the standard aptitude and HR rounds. Infosys says its Nagpur centre works on cloud and AI projects.

For non-CS graduates, the most direct route into this kind of work is data analytics: Python, SQL, statistics, Power BI and at least one project you can explain in an interview. Our PGP in Data Science and Analytics in Nagpur covers these skills. If you are still choosing between paths, read data analyst vs data scientist.

Getting to MIHAN by Metro

Khapri is the southern terminus of Nagpur Metro's Orange Line, and it is the closest metro station to MIHAN. Most campuses are spread across the zone, so many employees use company transport or a short auto ride from the station.

Pro tip: Ask about company transport during the HR round. Some employers provide cabs or buses, which can cut your daily travel cost.
