Times of India | 10 January 2026
KOLKATA: Bengal's IT minister Babul Supriyo on Thursday visited the LTI Mindtree project at Bengal Silicon Valley (BSV) in New Town to review the progress of construction and assess the overall development of the state’s flagship IT hub.
The minister inspected the project site and took stock of the pace of work at Bengal Silicon Valley, which is being positioned as a key driver of Kolkata’s next phase of IT-led growth. Officials said the project is expected to significantly reshape the city’s IT landscape by attracting large-scale investments and generating employment.
L&T Infotech was originally allotted 18.92 acres of land (Plot No. SV-31) at the Bengal Silicon Valley IT Hub. Following the merger of L&T Infotech with Mindtree, the company was rebranded as LTI Mindtree, under which the project is now being executed.
The project envisages the development of a large IT campus comprising six office towers to be constructed in phases. The total built-up area is estimated at around 3.7 lakh square feet, with a projected investment of nearly Rs 2,000 crore.
Phase I of the campus includes two towers and is progressing steadily. Based on the current construction pace and visible on-site progress, this phase is expected to be completed by April 2026. Once operational, the first phase is projected to accommodate about 7,000 IT professionals.
Phase II, also consisting of two towers, is slated to begin shortly and is targeted for completion by April 2027. Upon full completion of all phases, the campus is expected to provide employment to nearly 25,000 IT professionals, further consolidating Bengal Silicon Valley’s position as a major IT and technology employment hub in eastern India.
Designed on contemporary and sustainable campus planning principles, the project features landscaped open spaces, integrated pedestrian zones and modern glass-façade office towers. Officials noted that the design aims to create a high-density yet green, people-centric work environment, with current site photographs indicating steady progress in structural and façade development.
