Shillong: Construction of the IT Park Phase II in Shillong is nearing its final stages. Recent reports show the project has achieved 96 per cent physical progress and 94 per cent financial progress. The main engineering and construction work, valued at Rs 121.09 crore, is nearly finished with 97 per cent of the physical tasks completed.
State authorities anticipate that these infrastructure investments will generate roughly 22,000 direct and indirect jobs across three separate tech parks in Meghalaya. The government states, "The expansion is intended to strengthen the state’s digital infrastructure, attract IT investment, and create local employment."
The existing Phase I of the Shillong Tech Park is already operational and currently supports 1,500 direct and 4,500 indirect jobs. Once Phase II concludes by December, it is expected to add another 3,000 direct and 9,000 indirect roles. Meanwhile, the Tura Tech Park continues to make significant progress, reaching 75 per cent completion in both physical and financial metrics. This facility is slated to provide an additional 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect employment opportunities for the region.
