Infosys to mark its maiden entry in West Bengal: Mamata Banerjee
In a major breakthrough, West Bengal's chief minister Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday claimed that IT major Infosys will be investing Rs. 100 crore initially in the state and will come up with a 50-acre campus in the Rajarhat area, near the state's capital.Infosys had long been demanding special economic zone (SEZ) status to mark its maiden entry in the state which the state government was not bent on granting due to political compulsions. Banerjee clarified that Infosys will not be getting the SEZ status, as per the state's policy; but will be eligible for other benefits as per the state government's policy.She claimed it will create thousands of jobs in the state.In July this year, Wipro, which too wanted an SEZ status for its second campus in West Bengal, had decided to let go of the demand. Rishad Premji, chief strategy officer at Wipro had then said, on a visit to Kolkata for a Nasscom event, that the company was in talks with the state government to come up with newer opportunities .
