Back 

CIDCO has developed an IT Hardware Park at Dronagiri in an area of 400 Hectares. It is located adjacent to India's most modern containerised port, the Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT). The IT Hardware Park is a High-Tech Habitat with all the facilities for the IT Hardware industry as envisaged in the recommendations of the National Task Force set up by the office of the Prime Minister for the development of Information Technology, Software and Hardware. All financial and other incentives as offered by the Govt. of Maharashtra's IT Policy are applicable to units in the IT-Hardware Park.This PArk is well connected by four-lane national highways to Pune, Goa, Hyderabad, Bangalore and the rest of North India. The railways are running regular container specials via the park from JNPT to the rest of India by a well laid out rail track. Mass Rapid Transport commuter rail line connecting Mumbai and other parts of Navi Mumbai being constructed and expected to be existing to international and domestic airports at Sahar/Santacruz as well as proposed Navi Mumbai and Mandwa Airports. Mumbai Port would also be accessible with the completion of the Sea Link Project. High Speed hovercraft facilities from JNPT to south Mumbai already existing.

The IT Hardware Park is an ideal destination for Foreign and Indian Multinational Companies to set up manufacturing facilities where domestic as well as export production can be seamlessly integrated. The availability of a modern port just next door would make exports most competitive. The availability of good road, rail as well as air system of transportation to the rest of the country renders the vast domestic Indian market within easy reach and that too at competitive prices. Economies of scale can be exploited as well as the export market at very low production costs.
