The state government is committed to implement the Information
Technology Investment Region (ITIR) project. It is envisaged to
establish an integrated IT city in and around Bangalore International
Airport (BIA) near Devanahalli, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar told the
Legislative Council on Thursday.
Replying to a question raised by Congress member R V Venkatesh, during Question Hour, he denied the charges that the government was not keen on the project, which requires acquisition of over 10,000 acres of land. Shettar said the land would be acquired in a phased manner. “The I phase covering 2,072 acres of land will be implemented in five years and in the II phase, the remaining land will be acquired in 15-20 years. The project is proposed to be implemented on PPP basis,” he stated. Earlier, Venkatesh was apprehensive over losing the project following the delay in acquisition of land.
