Bhubaneswar Land of Opportunities

Why GIREM is interested in Bhubaneswar?

• Bhubaneswar - the capital of Odisha, has emerged as a fast-growing, important trading and commercial hub in the state and eastern India.

• As on 2011, city's population was 8, 37, 737 which is expected to grow to 1.3 million by 2021 and to 1.8 - 2 million by 2031.

• An emerging education and IT hub of India. • It has quality talent pool across various disciplines and specializations. • It has various mining and metal production industries. • Primary sector activities such as agriculture, mining and metal production

are the key economic drivers• Lowest electricity costs in the country• Suitable for industries such as IT/ITEs, engineering and R&D.• It is a major tourist hub and handicrafts export destination.

Infrastructure Development

The Biju Patnaik airport is set to be upgraded to an international airport

The Biju Patnaik airport here will generate 100 KW electricity from solar power plant to meet the daily electricity requirements.

A new 784 acres Knowledge City is going to come up near the city comprising of an SEZ, residential, commercial areas and business zones

Planned Bus Rapid Transit System

Factors leading towards the opportunity

• Bhubaneswar is soon going to have a Ring Road connecting major arterial roads and the national highways passing through the city.

• As the city's vehicular population currently is more than 6.5 lakhs, 72% of it is two-wheeler alone, the proposed 45-km-long and 200-foot-wide ring road will solve the city's traffic woos.

• Bhubaneswar with Cuttack would form a metropolitan twin city by unlocking 15 KM land stretch between Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.

• The Central Government is keen on fast tracking the Biju Patnaik International Airport - Infra Project, which is under PPP model and has been struck for a long time now due to various reasons. This airport will connect the city to various Southeast Asian & the Middle east countries and other international cities.

• The city has 4 IT SEZs, approved by the Government of India, namely Info City, Knowledge City, Info Park & IDCO-Genpact BPO Complex.

• The government has fostered growth by developing IT Parks such as Infocity-1, Infocity-2, STPI-Bhubaneswar and JSS STP, which would further attract investments from major IT companies.

• It offers electricity at lowest costs in the country, which would be beneficial for various industries being sets up.
