Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
Main international and domestic gateway for Hyderabad, located at Shamshabad south of the city. App taxis, prepaid taxi counters and the Pushpak airport bus all depart from the arrivals area; confirm current pickup zones on arrival
Approx. 35-40 km to HITEX Exhibition Centre, Izzat Nagar
to venue
Approx. 45-75 minutes by road depending on traffic
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Budget guesthouses and business hotels, Izzat Nagar / Kothaguda
USD 30–53 / night
Closest cluster to HITEX; limited inventory during show dates, so book early.
Midscale business hotels, Madhapur / HITEC City
USD 55–90 / night
Largest choice of rooms, restaurants and evening meeting space; Metro Blue Line stations at Raidurg and HITEC City.
Midscale business hotels, Kondapur / Gachibowli
USD 48–78 / night
Good value around the university and IT campuses; useful if Madhapur rates spike during show week.
Upscale hotels, Financial District / Nanakramguda
USD 105–190 / night
Quiet corporate hotels with conference facilities, suited to exhibitor teams holding client meetings.
Premium hotels, Banjara Hills / Jubilee Hills
USD 95–175 / night
Central Hyderabad options near restaurants and retail, but the longest daily commute to HITEX of these clusters.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Hyderabad Metro (Blue Line)
Cleanest way to bypass the HITEC City traffic bottleneck. Buy a smart card or QR ticket at the station; confirm the last-mile ride from the station before you set out.
TSRTC city bus
Cheapest option for short hops along the IT corridor. Routes and frequencies change, so check the TSRTC service listing or ask at the hotel desk for the bus nearest HITEX.
Pushpak airport bus
Air-conditioned airport liner with luggage space; a good option if you land in daylight and are not carrying exhibition freight.
App taxi (Uber / Ola)
Pick up from the designated app-taxi zone at arrivals. Allow extra time in the 08:00-11:00 and 17:00-20:00 peaks; surge pricing is common on show mornings.
Auto-rickshaw
Fastest option for the last 2-5 km when traffic is heavy. Agree the fare before boarding or use a metered app booking.
Prepaid taxi counter
Fixed-fare voucher paid inside the terminal, useful if you do not have an Indian payment app on arrival. Rates vary by vehicle class.
Private car parking at venue
On-site parking is available for visitors and exhibitors; gate access and rates are set by the venue. Exhibitor freight and move-in vehicles follow a separate schedule.
Weather
Hyderabad in January is in its cool, dry winter window. Days are pleasant and mostly sunny, typically around 28-30 C in the afternoon, while early mornings and evenings drop to about 13-16 C, so a light jacket is useful for the walk from the hotel to the hall. Rainfall is minimal in this period, but the city can see brief overcast spells; check a short-range forecast within 48 hours of travel and confirm the published show dates on the organiser site.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Indian prepaid SIM cards from Airtel, Jio and Vi are sold at counters in the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport arrivals hall against your passport and a photo; eSIM plans bought before departure are the quicker option. 5G coverage is good across Madhapur, HITEC City and the HITEX area. Venue Wi-Fi is usually intended for organisers and exhibitors rather than general visitors, so plan on mobile data for e-mail, lead-capture apps and app taxis. India uses 230 V at 50 Hz with Type D and Type M sockets, so bring a universal adapter and a power bank for long days in the halls.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings and meeting style
Handshakes are standard in Indian business settings and a slight nod with joined palms is a respectful alternative. Expect meetings to open with a few minutes of introductions and to run on relationship first, specification second; bring printed business cards and offer them with your right hand.
Language
Hyderabad's exhibition business runs in English, and technical discussions with exhibitors will normally be in English. Hindi and Telugu are widely spoken, which helps with taxi drivers, auto-rickshaw fares and site teams, but do not assume every technician on a stand speaks English.
Dress and venue etiquette
Business formals or smart business casual are the norm in the halls, with comfortable closed shoes for long walking days on concrete floors. Dress modestly for plant visits, and carry a government photo ID that matches your registration for badge and security checks.
Currency and payments
The currency is the Indian rupee (INR). Cards and UPI mobile payments are accepted at hotels, restaurants and most taxis, but keep small cash for auto-rickshaws and parking. Ask exhibitors for GST-compliant quotations if your company needs to claim input credit on equipment orders.
Food and water
Drink sealed bottled or filtered water rather than tap water, especially on your first days. Hyderabad has strong vegetarian and non-vegetarian options including its well-known biryani; hotels near HITEC City usually serve both, and vegetarian Jain or no-onion-no-garlic meals can be requested with a little notice.
Timing and traffic
Allow a 30-45 minute buffer for any meeting across the HITEC City corridor between 08:00-11:00 and 17:00-20:00. Punctuality is appreciated, and a quick message through an app taxi or a call to the organiser desk is the standard way to flag a delay.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: HYD
Book into Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD), which handles both international arrivals and direct domestic connections from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Chennai. Fares into Hyderabad rise sharply around the show dates, so confirm the published dates on the organiser site and book four to eight weeks out, and prefer an arrival the day before your first meeting rather than a same-morning flight. If you are carrying exhibition samples or demo components, check the airline's cabin and checked baggage rules in advance and keep invoices ready for customs or security queries. Indicative airfares are not published here because they change daily; compare live fares for your own origin and dates.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD): Approx. 45-75 minutes by road depending on traffic. Allow road or rail time to HITEX Exhibition Centre; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near HITEX Exhibition Centre: Izzat Nagar, Kothaguda: Budget guesthouses and business hotels, Izzat Nagar / Kothaguda; Madhapur, HITEC City: Midscale business hotels, Madhapur / HITEC City; Kondapur, Gachibowli: Midscale business hotels, Kondapur / Gachibowli.
Ride-hail: Uber, Ola and Rapido operate across Hyderabad, covering the airport, the HITEC City hotel cluster and the HITEX gate. App pickups at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport leave from designated zones inside the terminal campus, so follow the signs to the app-taxi pickup rather than the prepaid counter. Indian drivers normally call to confirm the exact gate, so keep your phone reachable and have the venue landmark (HITEX, Izzat Nagar, Kothaguda) written in English. Surge pricing is common on show mornings and in the evening peak; the auto-rickshaw option in the same apps is usually the cheapest way to cover the last few kilometres.
Public transit: Hyderabad Metro Rail's Blue Line serves the HITEC City corridor through Raidurg, HITEC City and Durgam Cheruvu stations, which are the practical rail access points for HITEX, followed by a short auto or cab ride. TSRTC city buses connect Madhapur, Kondapur and Kothaguda with the wider city, and the Pushpak airport bus links Rajiv Gandhi International Airport with the HITEC City area. MMTS suburban trains serve Hyderabad and Secunderabad but are less convenient for the western IT corridor. Check metro timings and the airport bus stop list on the operator sites the day before travel, since first and last services matter for early meetings.
Parking: HITEX Exhibition Centre operates on-site parking for cars and two-wheelers, with separate routing for exhibitor vehicles and freight during move-in and move-out. Visitor car parking is typically charged per day at the venue gate, in the region of INR 50-150, and fills quickly on the opening morning, so arriving before hall opening saves time. Confirm the current rate, the parking gate closest to your hall and any exhibitor vehicle pass requirement with the organiser or venue before you drive in.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: January
Temperature: Approx. 14-30 C: afternoons around 28-30 C, early mornings and evenings around 13-16 C
Seasonality: January falls in Hyderabad's dry winter window, with very little rainfall and mostly clear skies. Humidity is low compared with the monsoon months, so the main seasonal factor is the cool evening temperature rather than rain; keep a short-range forecast check for the travel days.
Packing: Pack light cotton or layered business wear for the 28-30 C afternoons and a light jacket or wool blend for 14-16 C evenings and air-conditioned halls. Bring comfortable closed shoes for long days on concrete floors, a scarf or stole for plant visits and temple stops, a power bank, a Type D or Type M plug adapter, and refillable water rather than relying on venue catering alone. An umbrella is optional in January but useful if a brief overcast spell rolls in.
