Bhubaneswar to become IT hub


Bhubaneswar to become IT hub

An information technology investment region (ITIR) is going to be established in Bhubaneswar. The proposed ITIR region in Bhubaneswar will be developed on an area of 40 square kilometers for which around 10000 acres of land is required. According to the sources, the ITIR region will come up between Bhubaneswar and Khurda at a cost of Rs 17,883 crore. The cabinet memorandum for the same is being made and it will get the approval of the cabinet soon.

The ITIR region of Bhubaneswar will create as many as 2,30,000 jobs in the state while it can accommodate a population of 5,40,000. Around three fourth of the project will be made in public private partnership (PPP) mode. Sources say that the in-principle approval has already been given by the centre. At a time when foreign direct investments (FDI) are gaining pace, the ITIR region will definitely attract a huge amount of investment to the state. The ITIR project is expected to include an airport, a global IT training centre and a science city among other things.

The Infocity II project that is already in progress, is also going to be a part of the information technology investment region of Bhubaneswar. Infocity II is being developed over 600 acres of land. According to the sources, the ITIR project will be completed in two phases. While 20 percent of the project is planned to be completed in the first phase, the second phase will have majority of work which includes 80 percent of the project. The next big thing about the project is land acquisition. As per the ITIR project plan, arounf 40 percent od the land will be allotted to the information technology (IT), IT enabled services (ITES) and electronics and hardware manufacturing units. The other 60 percent of the approved land will have development and research centers. Institutes of national and international importance will also be allotted land in this region. Some schools, hospitals and shopping malls are also planned to be constructed here.


Similar kind of ITIR projects are also approved in other states like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

  1. Bhubaneswar is one of the growing city and going to be one of the IT hub in the east zone of the country. Different small and big IT companies are already starts their company in this city and also some of them are interested to start their office in the near future. So to invest in the real estate sector of this city is really beneficial.
