Cyberpark will provide SEZ space for IT/ITES and other knowledge based industries for clients serving the domestic and international markets.
As the Park is already in the radar of a number of major IT investors from around the world, the Park is in the process of setting up the basic infrastructure such as a 110 kv substation, internal roads, rain water harvesting and waste water recycling and eco friendly waste management, Cyberpark CEO Binu Pazhoor said.
The notification is a major milestone in the development of Cyberpark and would act as a catalyst for significant investments in the IT/ITES sector in the region, he said.
He said by 2015 when the Cyberpark would be completely operational, it will generate 70,000 jobs for IT professionals and over a lakh jobs indirectly.
Facilities planned at Cyberpark were eco-friendly buildings with energy efficient layouts and interiors, full furnished incubators to support start-up SME initiatives, variety of recreation facilities and adequate eco parks, banks, ATMs, food courts, and food kiosks, day care facilities, reprography centres, internet centres, healthcare, gym, pharmacy, emergency management systems including ambulance, utility services like travel/tourism counters, courier and post office, rainwater harvesting and in house water purification plant and the whole facility to be backed up by 100 per cent in terms of electricity supply.
The spoke models of Cyberpark are coming up at Kannur and Kasaragode districts. Kannur-Cyberpark is developed in 25 acres of land in Eramom village, Taliparambu Taluk.
The complete land acquired is notified as SEZ. The prelimnary master plan has been completed and design works of the first IT building of 50,000 sq ft is in progress.
Kasargode Cyberpark will be developed in 100 acres of land of which 25 acres will be developed initially as an IT/ITES specific SEZ, he said.
The initial building planned here is of 1.50 lakh sq.ft and would ensure initial employment of over 2000. A high development potential for Cyber Park coming up in Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod is due to the absence of any organized IT infrastructure in the gap starting from Kochi to Dakshina Kannada, along the west coast, he added.
