Infosys to open IT SEZ in Thiruvananthapuram shortly

Thiruvananthapuram: The IT special economic zone (SEZ) being developed by software major Infosys on a 50-acre plot adjacent to the Technopark IT campus here will open shortly.

The SEZ would have two separate buildings, one is almost ready and work on the other is progressing, said M. Vasudevan, Senior Business Development Manager of Technopark.

"Each building has a capacity to seat 1,500 professionals. The first one will open shortly, some last bit of work on common amenities and a food court remains. The other building is also nearing completion," Vasudevan told IANS.

At present, Infosys has a development centre in the Technopark campus that employs more than 1,500 professionals.

According to some officials, Infosys preferred to open both buildings together by 2009-end or early next year after completing all works, but the state government wants the IT major to open the first building at the earliest.

The agreement for transferring land to Infosys for the project was signed in 2006 and the ground-breaking ceremony took place in 2007.
