HUBLI: Revenue and District in charge Minister Jagadish Shettar has said that along with promoting the Hubli IT park, the State Government is contemplating to allot land to a group of entrepreneurs for developing an ‘IT City’ near the twin cities.

Speaking at the press conference, Shettar said 400 acres of land was available near the twin cities, which would be given to the entrepreneurs to chalk out their plans for the ‘IT City’ if they were interested. Otherwise, land would be provided to them on the basis of the requirement of each company, he added.

He added that during the IT Meet on May 20, the delegates would be taken to see the land acquired by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board at Mummigatti, Rayapur and Kelageri.

Replying to a question on whether the state government would provide land at concessional rates, he said no decision was taken regarding the same.
