Ahmedabad: Chairman Emeritus and Chief Mentor of IT major Infosys, NR Narayan Murthy, on Thursday said that the company was still working with the Gujarat government to get land for its proposed centre in the state.
"Infosys is still working with Government of Gujarat to get the land for which we have requested. We will be happy to be part of the city," Murthy said on sidelines of an event.
Through project like these, Infosys usually targets to create 5,000 to 25,000 jobs, for which they require approximately 100 to 125 acres of land, he said.
The IT giant has been exploring options to set up a centre in Gujarat since last nine months, but nothing concrete has worked out in wake of issues related to availability of land at fair price.
Looking to expand its footprint in India with focus on tier-II cities, Infosys recently decided to set up a new campus at Technocity in Thiruvanathapuram, at an estimated cost Rs 600 crore.
This was the second deal sealed by the IT giant in the recent past after deciding to set up a development centre in Indore.
