Hosur is one of TN's rare Congress strongholds in the modern era — INC's K. Gopinath won 2006 and 2011 on the DMK alliance ticket. AIADMK's P. Balakrishna Reddy won it in 2016; DMK's Y. Prakaash took it in 2021 over AIADMK's S. Jyothi, and Balakrishna Reddy reclaimed it in 2026 by his largest-ever margin from the seat.
About Hosur
Hosur (AC 55) sits on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border in Krishnagiri district, 40 km southeast of Bengaluru's electronic city.
Once a small district town on the Bangalore-Salem highway, Hosur has become TN's manufacturing flagship over the past two decades: Tata Electronics' iPhone-component plant (announced 2024), Ola Electric's Futurefactory (the world's largest two-wheeler EV plant), Ashok Leyland's commercial-vehicle complex, Titan's watch factory, and TVS Motor's Hosur plant together employ over a hundred thousand workers across the SIPCOT industrial zones.
The town's Telugu-speaking minority and Bangalore-spillover population make it one of TN's most cosmopolitan industrial belts.
Hosur
By 2026 Hosur was where TN built for the world — Tata Electronics was rolling out iPhone components from the SIPCOT zone, Ola Electric's Futurefactory was the largest two-wheeler EV plant on the planet, and Ashok Leyland trucks and Titan watches rolled off lines a few kilometres apart.
Outside the factory floors, Hosur's Telugu-Tamil mix gives the bazaars their bilingual sign-boards, and a 30 km hop east opens up the Kelavarapalli reservoir or the Denkanikottai-Anchetty hill belt that runs into the Cauvery wildlife sanctuary.
