Coming on the heels of the recent investment of HCL to invest in Vizag, the new facility of TCS marks a key milestone in the development of Visakhapatnam as an IT and hi-tech hub in India.

Coming in quick succession to the recent big announcements by the Lulu Group, Brookfield, Oberoi and Suzlon Energy, this investment by the Tata Group also signifies Andhra Pradesh’s re-emergence as a preferred investment destination in India.

Expressing happiness over the Tata Group coming forward to set up an IT centre in Visakhapatnam, minister Lokesh said, “I’m happy to announce the development of an IT facility by the Tata Consultancy Services that will house 10,000 employees. We are committed to offering a best-in-class investment climate to corporates driven by our motto of ‘speed of doing business’. This investment by TCS is an important milestone as we work to make AP as India’s No. 1 state to do business.”
