History

Soon after India started witnessing an IT revolution with Bangalore, Mumbai,Chennai and Delhi as key IT hubs, the government of AP realised the need for infrastructure to attract investments of several IT companies. It was a well known fact that a large number of IT professionals working in Silicon valley and other technology hubs were from this region. This prompted the government to start the project with private investments. The project was commissioned initially with L&T ECC and was named L&T INFOCITY. Then several other companies started to partner with the government after the project's success. Vijayawada IT Zone is the first IT/ITES SEZ Project in Coastal Andhra, providing a totally integrated township for discerning IT professionals to work and live. The Project is being developed by Larsen and Toubro Limited through its Special Purpose Vehicle, L&T Hitech City Limited, a joint venture company of L&T Infocity Limited and Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited. The project is spread over 30 acres of land and is located right opposite to Gannavaram airport. It is envisaged to develop 1.1 million sq. ft. of IT space and 0.45 million sq. ft. of residential space in a phased manner. The Project offers multitenanted as well as Built-to-suit (BTS) facilities. It is strategically located in the resource rich locality of Andhra Pradesh, offers space at most economical prices with low operational costs ideally meeting individual customer’s requirement. It also caters to all segments of the IT Industry including small & medium enterprises, with office areas starting from as small as 2500 sq. ft. Moreover, it is located only 20 minutes driving distance from the city and is well connected to the rest of the country by rail, road and air.
