The state government will invite expressions of interest for creating basic infrastructure for Sector V, the IT hub in Salt Lake. |
Speaking at a workshop on supply chain for IT and ITES companies organised by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI), P K Mitra, additional director in charge of advance planning at the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA), said a public private partnership (PPP) route would be adopted for the project. |
|
The project would entail setting up underground water reservoirs, bus terminus, food plaza, sewerage and road beautification. |
|
Indu Khattar, chairperson of the IT sub-committee of BCCI, and general manager of Wipro's Kolkata operations, said the IT industry faced a problem of security of employees in Sector V. Transportation was also a problem, with only two established transport companies "" Tata Motors and Orix offering contract cars. |
|
Joydeep Datta Gupta, executive director of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), said the entire supply chain had to be professionalised for success. |
