TCS campus coming up at Kolkata

Tata Consultancy Services is likely to start work for its new campus at the satellite township of Rajarhat, near Kolkata.

The campus, spread across 40 acres in the satellite township, will employ nearly 16,000 people. The West Bengal Government has reportedly asked the IT major to speed up work on its campus. TCS already has a mix of owned and leased properties in the city.

A meeting with TCS officials and the West Bengal IT Minister took place here on Wednesday. Although land hand been allotted to the TCS during the tenure of the erstwhile Left Front government, obtaining requisite clearances including building sanction plans from the authorities had delayed construction work.
