Real estate hogs state’s IT SEZ space (16 IT sez in Gujarat)

January 22nd, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Uncategorized

At least 12 out of the 16 proposals approved so far in Gujarat for setting up as many Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the IT segment have been bagged by real estate companies that have scarcely little to do with IT or related areas.
The implications are obvious against the background of DLF Ltd, India’s largest real estate developer, successfully getting its IT SEZ in Delhi de-notified by the government even after its in-principle approval as an IT SEZ project. This would now enable the company to use 25 acres of land that the government provided for the IT SEZ, for real estate development. With 16 already approved, IT SEZs will corner the largest chunk of the total 60 to come up in Gujarat.

Vibrant Gujarat 2009 & List of MoUs

January 20th, 2009 34 Comments   Posted in SEO, Vibrant Gujarat Summit

Vibrant Gujarat Summit

I was amongst the fortunate 5000 people to witness one of the most important event in history of India. All roads leading to the venue were jam packed and it took 75 minutes to cover a distance of 6 kms which on an average  busy day would take about 10 minutes. Senior IAS officers, MLAs and MPs were seen standing (the VVVIP section saw 3-4 senior industrialists sharing the Sofa meant for 2) in the crowd for 3 to 4 hours and thousands were denied entry in the Inauguration hall.

Forget Sabeer Bhatia. Forget the 750,000 crores worth of investment that were promised on the first day or the total of 1,200,000 crores of MOUs. You needed to feel the euphoria in the atmosphere. Imagine a MP of Britain (country which denied visa to Mody) or Canada praising the state and the CM as if they were praising their own hero. Imagine Gardiner, the British MP chanting first few lines of Vande Matram. Imagine the doyens of Indian Industry who qued up to announce thousands of crores worth of investment (repeatedly the likes of Birlas, Ruias, Dhoots, Adanis etc. were told to limit their 2 minute speeches  to announcements only but they could not resist praising the state and the CM). Imagine Giants like Mittal and Ambani wishing openly that Modi becomes the next leader of India.
