yes of course. But the size of Infospace and SP Infocity are comparable, the former being 45 acres and the latter being 50 acres. I think DLF SEZ just breached the min SEZ land mark which is 22.5 acres

Also the govt needs to widen Kolkata-Basanti highway to 2x2 lanes though

@arijitb
Is TechM project construction is on there?

@samit, When I visited the area in Feb last year i.e when I took the images of Cognizant posted here, there was something u/c in 2 of the sites, but not sure if it was Tech Mahindra or not. It could be Patni as well or Dhunseri IT park.

It is currently Kolkata's largest Operational Tech Park @ 4.2 million sq ft in 45 acres. It is largely operational with last stages of construction going on.

I am not sure of the hotel site. However, the area enclosed in green boundary right in front with the crane @ one side is a big construction zone. As raj pointed out that may be the one.

So if this is the one behind Steasalit towers, then it has already reached several floors. Difficult to get a front view since there is hardly any road left leading to the site
