MP CM Yadav inspects under-construction IT Park 3 in Indore
Indore, June 18
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday inspected the under-construction IT Park-3 in Indore and reviewed the progress of the project with officials.
During the visit, he said the state government is working to strengthen the future of Madhya Pradesh through information technology, modern science, employment generation and service sector expansion under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Our government is working to advance our future through IT, modern science, and many other ways, including in the employment and service sectors, under the leadership of the Prime Minister. The Indore-Ujjain Metropolitan Area will be a growth engine for this transformation. IT Park 3, IT Park 4, IT Park Ujjain, The Indore-Pithampur Economic Corridor, and private sector projects are jointly creating a modern ecosystem that will propel Madhya Pradesh's digital economy to new heights. Today, I inspected IT Park 3 and this project is being completed at a cost of Rs 557 crore. The building is a green building, and its height will be the tallest in the state," CM Yadav told reporters.
The Chief Minister stressed that a 22-storey world-class building is being constructed over an area of approximately 11.5 lakh sq feet and it will become state's finest building and premier IT park.
"Construction of 17 floors, along with a two-level basement, is currently underway. The building is slated for completion by the end of this year, with all types of IT and service sector services readily available from next year..." the CM said.
Additionally, CM Yadav highlighted that the state government was establishing Indore as the IT and service sector capital of the state.
Along with this, the Chief Minister also participated in the 'Shala Prarambh Utsav' programme under the 'School Chalein Hum Abhiyan' at Government Sharda Girls Higher Secondary School in Indore. On this occasion, he visited an exhibition set up at the school, interacted with the students, and extended his best wishes for their bright future.

Impressive! But I hope the government also focuses on skilling our local talent so these IT jobs go to MP youth, not just outsiders. Otherwise what's the point of building such massive infrastructure if we have to import talent from other states?
As someone working in IT in Bangalore, this makes me happy. Finally our state is catching up! If Indore can develop a proper tech ecosystem, many of us might consider moving back home. The Indore-Ujjain corridor idea is brilliant for decentralized growth. Let's see how it shapes up in next 5 years.
Great initiative! It's refreshing to see state governments investing in modern infrastructure beyond just the usual IT hubs. The green building aspect is particularly noteworthy - sustainable development is the way forward. Hope this model gets replicated across other cities in MP.
Good to see infrastructure push but I'm cautiously optimistic. We've seen many such announcements in the past that get delayed or scaled down. Also, what about the smaller cities like Gwalior, Jabalpur? IT growth shouldn't be limited to just Indore-Ujjain. Need more balanced regional development across MP.
The combination of IT Park and the Shala Prarambh Utsav shows the government is thinking holistically - infrastructure for tomorrow's economy while investing in today's education. As someone who works in EdTech, I love seeing this balanced approach. Hope the schools also get digital infrastructure to match!
