Goa has planned two mega projects- IT Park at Chimbel village and the Electronic City at Tuem village- which will may prove to be a blessing for IT and electronic companies in the country. These companies are expected to take advantage of lower rentals that these two projects in Goa will be able to offer as compared to many of the other IT hubs in the country like Bangalore and Hyderabad. These projects will have many of the associated infrastructure and services that are required by IT companies like digital library, conference halls and exhibition venues.
