The case for Bhubaneswar Infocity IT Park
Bhubaneswar offers Eastern India's most government-supportive GCC environment: Odisha IT Policy 2022 provides 15-year power tariff concession, 100 percent stamp duty waiver, and capital subsidy of up to 30 percent. The state's mining and metals sector (Odisha produces 55 percent of India's iron ore) creates a unique OT/IT convergence opportunity for GCCs serving SAIL, NALCO, JSPL, Tata Steel and Vedanta. KIIT University's 25,000-plus annual engineering graduates ensure talent volume at low cost.

FAQ
Common questions about Bhubaneswar Infocity IT Park
What makes Odisha's IT incentives particularly competitive for GCCs?
Odisha IT Policy 2022 provides one of Eastern India's most comprehensive GCC incentive stacks: 100 percent stamp duty and registration fee waiver, 15-year power tariff concession at INR 4 per unit for IT units, 30 percent capex subsidy for investments above INR 50 crore, EPF employer contribution reimbursement for the first 5 years, and net SGST reimbursement. The Go-Swift single-window provides 30-day clearance commitment. This compares favourably to West Bengal and Bihar incentive regimes.
