With India poised to maintain a healthy seven per cent plus GDP growth over the next 20 years and the world beating a path to India, we believe that we can make a significant contribution in strengthening the infrastructure of the country. In a sense, this is the beginning of an infrastructure revolution, much akin to the telecom revolution which has changed the connectivity landscape of India in the past decade." The communities will be designed and constructed by architects and contractors of international standing and supported by various experts in the fields of planning, construction, transportation, utility, environment and other infrastructure.
Communities will include residential plots, town houses and villas along with convenient shopping, landscaped gardens, civic facilities and amenities. They will also provide for the opening of international standard offices and IT parks which in turn will give a fillip to industry, business and IT in the State. With a view to make available to residents medical care, education and recreation, some of the planned communities will have hospitals, schools and colleges.
