BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government has identified nearly 5,500 acre of land in and around the capital city for development of IT parks, towers and electronic manufacturing facilities under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Sources said the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">land parcels have been identified in Mundali area (980 acre), Kuaput Hills, Haldipada (1,694 acre), Aranga (1,504 acre), Aragul (874.5 acre) and XIM University square (441.5 acre). Plug-and-play infrastructure has been planned in existing and upcoming commercial towers to ensure faster rollout for new investors.</span><br />
<br />
Chief secretary Manoj Ahuja, during a recent high-level meeting, directed the Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (IDCO) and Khurda administration to take steps for acquisition of the land parcels at the earliest. Once the land acquisition is completed, the government will consider allotting land at special prices to reputed IT, ITeS and ESDM companies proposing to set up large-scale operations in the state.<br />
<br />
... <br />
<br />
The chief secretary also laid emphasis on expediting the completion of built-up facilities at Infovalley and Infocity, the state’s two flagship IT parks, apart from the proposed IT towers including NBCC tower, OBCC tower, OMC tower and Chandaka IT tower.<br />
<br />
IDCO has been directed to complete construction of the proposed IT towers on priority. The meeting has also decided to urge the <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">East Coast Railway (ECoR) to earmark dedicated space for IT and ITeS companies in the upcoming new complex at the Bhubaneswar railway station.</span><br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
Large land tracts on city outskirts, smaller land parcels under BMC to be used to set up IT parks</blockquote>
