BASF to Establish Global Service and Digital Hubs in Hyderabad, Creating 3,000 Jobs

German chemical company BASF plans to establish two global hubs—a Global Service Hub and a Global Digital Hub—in Hyderabad by the second quarter of 2026. These centers will support global operations in finance, human resources, supply chain, regulatory services, and consulting. The initiative, formalized through a letter of intent handed to Telangana's IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu, is expected to create around 3,000 jobs and expand BASF's presence in India.
