New Delhi: The exports from Software Technology Parks (STP) have increased 15.1 percent from 
1,80,155 crore in 2007-08 to 2,07,358 crore in 2008-09. According to the Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Sachin Pilot, three STP centres have been set up, taking the total number of units to 51, as part of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, reports PTI.
In response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Pilot said, "As per information provided by the Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (MAIT), the consumption of computers recorded a negative growth of seven per cent in 2008-09 over 2007-08."
Sales also fell from 7.3 million units to 6.8 million units. The sales were improving quarter-on-quarter as per data available with MAIT, and are expected to grow by 7-10 percent in 2009-10. "The drop in sales has been a reflection of the global economic downturn which had also impacted the domestic economy and hence the local consumption of IT hardware," said Pilot.
