Hyderabad, Oct. 28 The Andhra Pradesh Government is targeting to step up the State’s share of IT exports to about 20 per cent of the country’s total exports, from the current 14 per cent, by focussing on skill development and extending necessary support, including infrastructure.

The sector’s exports have grown significantly over the last three years from Rs 8,000 crore in 2003-2004.

Announcing this at a press conference here, the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, said that though the State accorded top priority to agriculture and irrigation sectors, IT would enjoy similar importance with all necessary Government support.

The Deputy Secretary General of Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr Rajan Kohli, said that the Hyderabad IT Summit, to be hosted in March 2008 jointly by FICCI, Nasscom and the Andhra Pradesh Government, would be a global event attracting IT majors from across the world.
