Hi-Tech City set to take off !!!
Thursday, October 19th, 2006Nedumbassery to go Hi-Tech
Thursday October 19 2006 09:33 IST
KOCHI: The 350-acre Hi-Tech City at Nedumbassery, to be promoted by Bangalore-based Sobha Developers, will be officially announced in December.
Barring a few patches, the land purchase is almost complete, T Balakrishnan, Principal Secretary (Industries and Commerce), told this website’s newspaper.
The Hi-Tech City will be of international standards and will involve an investment of up to Rs 6,000 crore.
It will have separate parks for information technology, biotechnology, hotels and resorts, residential complexes and villas.
The hi-tech city will generate jobs for more than 60,000 people, said government officials.
The Sobha Group, which has forayed into retail infrastructure in Bangalore, will also set up a �global mall� in Kochi on the lines of the one proposed in Bangalore.
The global mall will sport a five-star hotel, an ice-skating rink, a contemporary business tower and a convention centre.
The Hi-Tech City will be a modular mix of hyper-market with large-screen multiplexes and parking facilities.
The Sobha Group has said that it does not want any concessions from the government, barring speedy statutory clearances, Balakrishnan said.
Power will be generated in the Hi-Tech City by setting up captive power plants and water will be sourced through rain water harvesting by the investors themselves.
The Sobha Group proposes to come out with an initial public offering soon. The group is entering the capital market next month to raise funds for land acquisitions, its ongoing and future projects and to repay certain debts.
The group is actively involved in developing various campuses of Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and ICICI Bank in the country, apart from a large number of residential apartments.
