Gujarat may have missed the information technology bus but, the state is set to make a mark with a number of upcoming IT special economic zones (SEZs). There are about five proposed IT SEZ projects in the state approved by the Centre.
While some of them may take time to come up, Calica Construction and Impex Pvt Ltd, an Ahmedabad-based company promoted by structural engineers Bipin Shah and Amrish Patel, has started work on its Rs 650 crore SEZ, which is coming up near Science City in Ahmedabad. The project has got a final nod from Union ministry of commerce and industry. The SEZ, coming up on over 26 acres land, will also house a 50-storeyed building.
