UCHI: The entire 147 acres of the Tiruchi IT park at Navalpattu have been booked by business process outsourcing and IT companies.
Two front-ranking companies expected to start their operations here are Sutherland Global Services and Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS). The rest are smaller companies.
Land handover
Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) is already into the process of handing over land for Sutherland and has earmarked land for CTS.
The ELCOT would begin with providing land to ‘anchor companies’ in order to ensure that the allotted land is utilised strictly for the purpose. The ELCOT Board has empowered Managing Director C. Umashankar to execute the process.
Having readied a plan to construct 50,000 square feet of builtup space by itself in the first phase, the ELCOT envisages subsequent construction of two million square feet of builtup space in a 50-acre area in the IT park under a joint venture with a private entity.
The IT park has already been accorded the status of a Special Economic Zone, said Mr. Umashankar.
Internal roads
The ELCOT Board has also approved the proposal for construction of internal roads at a cost of Rs. 25 crore.
Compound wall
An estimate for construction of a compound wall for the IT park has also been made, said Mr. Umashankar adding that the ELCOT eagerly looks forward to takeover by the Highways department of the 100-feet link road for creation of an expressway from the IT park to the Tiruchi-Pudukkottai Highway.
Maintenance of the over six kilometre road that was laid by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board is undertaken by the panchayats of Navalpattu and Gundur

Talk from the area
KK estates (Website: http://www.kk-estates.com/index.php)has been promoting the area through different project initiatives including selling of plots. The average rate/sq ft ranges from Rs 160-190. While it obvious that land sale in acre is not expected at this time, the bargain rate seems to be Rs 35 lakh per acre.
Though the question seems to be "When are we going to see the real work begin?", there is growing activity and buzz. For those who have no control on decision making, time is the answer.

Metro train to Airport - A nice dream
A huge bottleneck faced by big airports like Chennai, Bangalore is not just limited to the capacity of handling flights. With growing population, the accessibility to reach the airports has been the pressing issue. Irrespective of witnessing all these, one can safely bet that Tiruchy will be no exception. If there is enough initiative and careful planning channeled through Tiruchy Mayor, Ministers and top echelons, places like Navalpattu and University side can have state of art transport networks including metro rails and non-stop skyway connection to airports.
The reason for the above post is a direct reaction to the news below
http://us.rediff.com/money/2007/nov/14bang.htm
In addition, the time and money spent due to increasing transport demand for native Tiruchians to cities like Bangalore can be directed to increase Tiruchy's economy and outlook. Needless to say one can be close to home.
