Ranchi to get modern IT park with potential for 75,000 jobs, says CM Hemant Soren

Chief Minister Hemant Soren met Deepak Chhabria, President of RMZ Infrastructure, in Ranchi to discuss building a modern IT park and a Global Capability Centre in Jharkhand. RMZ expressed interest in investing in IT parks, digital infrastructure and future technologies.

The proposed IT park in Ranchi is targeted to start by 2029 and is expected to create about 20,000 jobs in its first phase, growing to around 75,000 over the following three years. About 100 acres near IIM Ranchi, the new assembly complex and the High Court complex are being considered for the project. A team from the IT and e-Governance department is also set to visit Bengaluru to study its IT ecosystem.

Soren said the state will be prepared in line with the new economy and that Ranchi should become a major centre for IT, innovation and emerging technologies. Chief Secretary Avinash Kumar and IT Secretary Pooja Singhal were present at the meeting.
