actually Mr. Ranga has exposed his views pretty clearly and he has got a valid point....you're the one who is being vague over here.......!!!!!

Friend, What Mr. Ranga Pointed out is real and it is happening, Many established BPO's in India are silently setting up campuses in Philipines, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Lets face it, these companies shifted operations from their home countries to India because of lower costs, now probably with little more training, they are getting much cheaper labor force in these countries, so they will move. Dollars and Cents my friend, at the end of the day its what matters. These companies are here for their business, they are not here to improve the Indian's per capita income. When the pastures are green on the other side they'll move. Thats business!!!!!

And all the companies rely on hyderabad and thats the reason they have set up their campuses.

They dont rely on Hyd..Neither Hyd is doing them a favor or vice versa, the same goes for any place anywhere!! Do you know in the state of california, there were(in 2002-2003, i am not sure of it now) huge office spaces that were abandoned cos these so called IT Giants moved out to countries like India? One more thing, not many of them are in their own premises, it can be built to suit but they are leased.

Grow up man!!! This is modern day business, and thats how it operates, can be cutthroat, ruthless etc etc....but its what it is!

I dont get the connection with the state of IT industry and skyscrapers being constructed. So, are the ever increasing expensive skyscrapers in Mumbai being occupied by IT professionals.

Indian economy is not soley running on IT exports. Indian economy is not an export oriented economy let alone IT exports. Besides, with the reports that India will have 50% of world share in services outsourcing underlines the fact that the rest of 50% will be taken up by other countries. Just as Indian IT exports are increasing, the IT exports from other countries will also increase in volumes. The net rise in exports from other countries doesnot mean the IT boom is going to be busted in the future, it may just imply that we are peaking and the growth rate may subside.

Speculative theories like IT boom will bust in next three years are just as true as reports like "India will be a superpower by 2012".

Well the point is not the connection between IT industry and skyscrapers as such but the reliance of Hyderabad on IT/ITES alone and whether can Hyderabad sustain 100+ building relyin only on IT/ITES.

Ranga had a point when he said that Hyderabad should be more versatile and should try attracting more industries to sustain such kind of real estate developement.

Ranga garu's point assumes that major chunk of HYD GDP/economy is IT based and I don't know if thats true. And btw, I am all for diversifying into every possible sector.

They say it may be taken up in the second phase depending upon the response to the first phase of the project.Personally i am of the opinion that it is unnecessary for Hyderabad to have very tall skyscrapers when there are ample space available for construction.

Anil on top of 100-storey tower
Hyderabad, July 6: Anil Ambani’s Reliance Energy has bagged the 100-storied trade tower-cum-business district project at Manchirevula on the city outskirts. Reliance Energy quoted Rs 6.57 crores per acre while its competitor Elbit Medical Imaging, an Israeli firm, quoted Rs 6.10 crores per acre. The upset price was Rs 6 crores per acre and the project is estimated to cost Rs 5,400 crores.

Noted architect Hafeez contractor also favoured the design for the tower submitted by Reliance Energy. In all, the overall marks given to Reliance were 75.40 out of 100 while Elbit got 71.29. Reliance Energy will start construction by September and will engage the services of world renowned architect Norman Foster. Company officials expressed happiness at getting the contract since the opening of financial bids coincided with the death anniversary of founder Dirubhai Ambani.

The tower with 100 floors will be about 450 metres tall and will accommodate offices, hotels and malls. “The company will be given the confirmation letter in a few days,” said Mr B.P. Acharya, managing director of the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation. “The trade tower has to be constructed in three years and the business district in five years.”

APIIC put a pre-bid condition that the company which bagged the contract should first construct the trade tower in 30 acres and would be given the remaining 50 acres after that. A special purpose vehicle will be set up to execute the project in which Reliance Energy will have 66 per cent equity, Bangalore-based Sobha Developers 23 per cent and APIIC 11 per cent.

Wow! we are getting there...

Secunderabad bus terminus project work to begin in September
HYDERABAD: After what seemed a long lay off, the state-of-the-art multi-level bus terminus cum commercial hub proposed at old Gandhi Hospital land in Secunderabad is inching towards finalisation stage and work may start in September.

The project initially estimated at Rs. 230 crore, now revised to Rs.475 crore, in 11-acre land was planned by HUDA to ease congestion near Secunderabad Railway station by avoiding the conflicts created by the movement of RTC buses, bus commuters, train passengers, shoppers in the area and students.

More than an year ago, officials from various civic agencies, MCH, Railways, RTC, traffic police besides HUDA inspected the site and studied the pre-feasibility report and designs prepared by the consultant Anil Chawla and approved it. But after inviting the Expression of Interest and short-listing the companies, HUDA, faced with a barrage of queries and details from short listed firms realised the need to re-examine the earlier design report in view of some inadequate provisions.

“When an Engineering procurement contract is given, every design, specification, requirement has to be spelt out. There were details like type of elevation for the proposed twin towers, building management system to take care of all amenities and data networking system, capacity of sub-station, provision of an STP, provision for software companies, common area, escalators that had to be included. Then we engaged the services of Bangalore-based Stup consultants experienced in executing such projects for preparing a Request for Proposal (RFP) with engineering estimates”, said the HUDA Chief Engineer Vivek Deshmukh. The firm which revised the estimates would submit the RFP document along with building plan to HUDA by July 20, he said. HUDA meanwhile would submit the revised estimate to the Government for the administrative sanction

Almost doubled the estimates. looks like serious business...

HYDERABAD: The proposal to build a bus terminus-cum-business centre on the old Gandhi Hospital land to ease traffic congestion around Secunderabad railway station area has moved to the next step, five months after officials from various agencies conducted a joint inspection. The State Government has appointed Hyderabad Urban Development Authority as the executing agency for the Rs.250-crore project.

HUDA has invited Expression of Interest-cum-Request for Qualification from bidders of national and international repute for the project. The EOI is to design and build the bus terminus-cum-business centre on some 10 acres of land on Engineering, Procurement and Construction basis.

Chaotic traffic: The purpose of the integrated bus terminus-cum-business centre is to avoid the chaotic conditions around the station where pedestrian traffic is too high. The authorities are planning to build a super structure with 28.5 lakh sft of carpet area, including 90,000 sft for covered parking area to accommodate at least 1,200 cars and 14,000 two-wheelers. The last date for submission of bids is September 14. The project is to be completed in 24 months.

A bus terminus-cum-business centre planned in the area
HYDERABAD: The old Gandhi hospital land where a bus terminus-cum-business centre to ease congestion near Secunderabad railway station has been planned was inspected by authorities from various civic agencies on Friday.

Coming up on 11 acres of land with 65 bus terminals, the Rs. 230-crore project would be either funded by HUDA or taken up in public-private partnership mode. The HUDA, MCH, Railway, RTC and Traffic police officials inspected the site jointly and studied the designs prepared by the consultant Anil Chawla to offer their suggestions. "This is an ideal location for that permanent solution to the traffic chaos in the Secunderabad railway station area, which has been elusive all these days," said the HUDA Chairman D.Sudheer Reddy.

The bus terminus-cum-business centre with over eight lakh sft multi-level parking facility, twin towers, each with 28 storeys was designed to handle 30 lakh passengers and would accommodate 1,200 cars and 9,000 two-wheelers. A flyover from Boiguda to Clock Tower would ease traffic congestion on the routes heading to and from Railway Station.

The MCH Additional Commissioner and Project Director Mass Rapid Transit System N.V.S.Reddy said the project with many components would be integrated with the railway facilities including two MRTS lines from Secunderabad Jubilee Bus Station to Falaknuma and Tarnaka to Hi-tech city and seven RTC bus stands in the vicinity of railway station. Subways from the railway station platform would connect to the complex enabling passengers board the shuttle services...

[Hindustani]

Hafeez approves relience's model & rejects israeli company's for APIIC 100-F tower. Dont these idiots think that we have a right to see approved & rejected models. I guess not.

Typical desi mentality. These fools will never learn.

The marketing for the lanco hills project commenced on 7-7-07. I understand the the initial response is lukewarm.

Any data to substantiate your statement?

I am stating this from my observation at their marketing office.Looks like foot falls and telephonic enquiries are more than actual transaction.Hope it will pick up in days to come.

No doubt it will be always like that. It is not an FMCG market to have a higher conversion ratio.

Also don't expect crowds at marketing offices of such lifestyle living spaces. It would always be a niche market.

[ramkan]

On the other hand, there is a rumour that LANCO was sold out...

I guess it is all speculation..
