Telangana government plans to establish a major Information Technology Knowledge Hub in Puppalaguda, covering 450 acres.
This comes in the wake of Supreme Court’s directives not to disturb the 400 acres of Kancha Gachibowli land where the government had earlier planned an IT park. A high-level meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu on Thursday reviewed the plans. The project aims to boost the city’s IT infrastructure and generate employment for around 5 lakh young people, Mr. Vikramarka said.
The land earmarked for the IT hub includes areas previously allotted to the housing societies of MLAs, MPs, IAS officers and revenue officials in Puppalaguda. These land allocations were recently cancelled by the Supreme Court. An additional 250 acres of land under the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) adjacent to Puppalaguda will be merged for the hub’s development, Mr. Vikramarka said.
