HYDERABAD: Eleven industrial parks located within Outer Ring Road (ORR) in the city will soon be converted into information technology (IT) parks. The Telangana government, which had earlier announced GRID (growth in dispersion) policy, has now come out with detailed guidelines pertaining to the zones, incentives, and government support to disperse the IT sector to all corners of the city.
Since the state government wants to shift all industrial units located within ORR limits to outside the zone, the industrial parks at Balanagar, Kukatpally, Moula Ali, Mallapur, Patancheru, Katedan, and Sanatnagar would house IT towers. In addition, an IT tower would be built in the northern part of the city at Kompally and an IT park in the north-western part of the city either at Kollur or Osmannagar as part of dispersing IT growth in the city.
According to the GO issued by the IT, electronics, and communications department on Thursday, various incentives like a unit, anchor, developer, infrastructure development and institutional measures, and branding and promotional activities would be provided.
