IIT-M gets land for research park

CHENNAI: The State Government has allotted 11 acres of land sought by the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) for setting up a research park, through a government order recently.

The plans and other financial arrangements for the building are ready and the project is expected to start soon.

In 2003, IIT-Madras had asked for 12 acres in Taramani and the State Government allotted 6.59 acres in 2005. The IIT-M sought additional land to improve its connection with the IT corridor and also construct an 18-m access road. This 18 m road would enable IIT-M to construct a multi-storied building.
