Sify plans for campus-style facility in Siruseri shelved

Chennai , Oct. 10

SIFY Ltd, an Internet, network and e-commerce services company, has shelved its plan to have a campus-style facility at Siruseri.

The company was planning a campus on 15 acres on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, the information technology corridor, said a company official.

The plan was shelved due to the distance involved — Siruseri is located around 25 km from Chennai. There is no immediate plan to have another facility in the city. Sify currently has about 1,400 employees, and a significant number of them are located at Tidel Park.

The company also has a presence in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kolkata, he said.

It may be recalled that at a recent press conference, a State Government official said that the 1,000-acre Siruseri Sipcot IT park was fully sold out. Xansa, an IT firm, has set up its centre in the park and Tata Consultancy Services plans to have its centre on 75 acres of land.

Other companies to occupy the park include Polaris, Hexaware, Syntel, Cognizant and Sify, said Mr Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu. In the second phase, a similar park would come up on about 500 acres of land, adjacent to the existing park, he said.
