ETS Security Overview - Hyderabad

India is a vast and diverse country with significant economic opportunities but also a complex security environment. The country faces a range of threats, including terrorism, regional insurgencies, communal violence, political instability, crime, and cybersecurity risks. The security situation varies greatly across different regions, with some areas being safer than others. Understanding these risks is essential for businesses, expatriates, and travelers.

India has faced terrorism threats from both domestic and international groups. The most significant threats come from Islamist extremist groups, particularly those based in Pakistan (such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed), and domestic insurgent groups, including Maoists and separatist factions in the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir. Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore have been targeted in the past. Major incidents of terrorism include the 2008 Mumbai attacks and the 2019 Pulwama attack in Kashmir. The Indian government has significantly increased counterterrorism efforts, but risks still persist, particularly in border areas and places frequented by foreign tourists.

Hyderabad, the capital of the Indian state of Telangana, is a major IT and business hub often referred to as "Cyberabad" due to its thriving technology sector. It is home to many multinational corporations, particularly in the IT, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology industries. Hyderabad is generally considered safer than other major Indian cities, with lower levels of crime and political instability. However, like any large urban center, it faces security challenges related to petty crime, cyber threats, traffic safety, political unrest, and natural disasters.

Sexual harassment and assaults, especially against women, have been a concern in India, particularly in urban areas. Foreign women travelers should exercise caution, especially when traveling alone at night or using public transportation.

Violent and non-violent crime are persistent threats in India. Opportunistic kidnap-for-ransom, HNWI kidnap-for-ransom, and political kidnapping are potential risks to foreign travelers. Low level crime including pickpocketing, theft and snatch and grab attacks are common and more likely to occur in crowded locations including hotels and restaurants.

The standard of driving in India is poor. Local drivers regularly ignore road traffic safety and laws. Drivers are known to travel at excessive speeds where road and vehicle conditions are unsafe, this is more common on major roads and highways. Infrastructure is considered inadequate in relation to the amount of road users, therefore heavy congestion and disruptions are likely in the urban areas.  There is a high risk of road traffic collisions (RTCs) due to the poor driving conditions, unpredictable driving behavior and inadequate infrastructure.

Public transportation can be unsafe for foreign travelers.  Overcrowding, frequent de-railing and fatal accidents are a major concern.  Additionally, thieves are known to operate on public transport, travelers are considered vulnerable due to their perceived wealth. Where possible traveling by these means should be avoided.
