Hosur — AIADMK's Balakrishna Reddy returns by 27,803 votes, takes back Bengaluru-border manufacturing belt
AIADMK's P. Balakrishnareddy won Hosur by 27,803 votes over TVK's S. Vendarkarasan, returning to a seat he held in 2016 (22,964-vote margin over INC's K. Gopinath). DMK's Y. Prakaash had flipped Hosur in 2021 by 12,367 votes over AIADMK's S. Jyothi. The seat's longer history runs through Congress's K. Gopinath (winner 2006 and 2011, runner-up 2016) — the only TN seat where Congress held back-to-back wins in the post-2008 era. Hosur is now TN's manufacturing flagship: Tata Electronics' iPhone-component plant, Ola Electric's Futurefactory, Ashok Leyland, Titan and TVS together employ over a hundred thousand workers across the Bengaluru-border SIPCOT zone.

Past results
Verified winners and runners-up across the last five elections, with the major alliance partners each side fielded.
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, the first row rendering as a dual pill. AIADMK's P. Balakrishna Reddy flipped it in 2016, lost it to DMK's Y. Prakaash in 2021, and 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
Hosur is where TN now builds for the world — Tata Electronics is rolling out iPhone components from the SIPCOT zone, Ola Electric's Futurefactory is the largest two-wheeler EV plant on the planet, Ashok Leyland trucks and Titan watches roll 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.
