The long awaited IT Park in Coimbatore is to be started in September 2010, said the minister. There are two sites for IT Park in Coimbatore and they are - Vadapalanji and another one is Ilandaikulam. Vadapalanji IT park in Coimbatore is made of 16 crores and Ilandaikulam is constructed of 15 crores. Vadapalanji is in the southern part of Coimbatore and Ilandaikulam is in the northern part of Coimbatore.
Minister Poongothai said that few more materials are expected from France and Ireland. Almost 75% of the construction work is done in both the sites. It is planned to start the operations of IT Park in Coimbatore by third week of the September 2010.
Also it is said that it creates direct employment for 5000 people and indirect employment for 20,000 people. As more and more companies come in and settle in Coimbatore, it would create employment for 25,000 to 50,000 people.
We are very excited about Coimbatore IT Park, one of the first of its kind in Coimbatore. Though it is too late for a second tier and major city of Tamil nadu - it is never too late. Coimbatore247 is very excited about this new shift for Coimbatore.

We are now in February 2011. But still the Vadapalanji IT PARK [IT SEZ-II] is still not opened up? When it will happen?
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteAs you know Ilandhaikulam project is done and CM inaugurated the same. However, Vadapalanji seems to be much bigger project than the other one. Hence it is taking time - I believe.
Officially no news has come out yet about it. However, the above is just my personal opinion.
Let us see. If we hear any news about it, We will definitely post the news here. Thank you for visiting Coimbatore247.com
