Bus facilities with colleges 60 private buses.

The state government will provide all supporting infrastructural requirements such as land, sewerage, electricity and water. "With a TIDEL-type park, Lots of residential complexes will be thrown in between Hosur and Bangalore. Travel time is faster outside Bangalore to Hosur rather than within the city," says K Pandia Rajan, managing director, Ma Foi Management Consultants Limited, the recruitment agency.

It is not as if Hosur doesn't have anything other than its proximity to Bangalore going for it. It has been an industrial hub for more than two decades now and home to the manufacturing plants of Ashok Leyland, Titan Industries, TTK Prestige, Reckitt Benckiser, Hindustan Lever, Carborandum Universal and TVS Motors.

So, the basic infrastructure is firmly in place. "Hosur's potential to become a prime outlying suburb of Bangalore, on the lines of Noida and Gurgaon for Delhi and Navi Mumbai for Mumbai, has been largely under utilised.

IT majors such Infosys and Wipro are just a stone's throw away in Electronics City which is midway between Bangalore and Hosur. These companies would be wary of setting up operations in Hosur as they are already battling the Karnataka government over the lack of proper roads to Electronic City from Bangalore.

If anything can stop Hosur's advances to becoming a IT super city. "Work on the Rs 400 crore (Rs 4 billion), six-lane expressway has begun in june 2007 with a deadline of 18 months to complete the project from electronic city to Hosur. However, real estate prices are 25-30 per cent lower in Hosur than in the areas of Bangalore closest to Hosur. The rental for commercial buildings are Rs.10 to 37 Rs. per sq.ft. House rental is Rs.5 to 7 per sq.ft. The Rental house demand is growing daily and is unable to cater the new comers.More new constructions are coming up.

What do the software companies think of Hosur? "We are not considering Bangalore or Hosur as of now. But assuming that we were, the primary concerns would be travel time, overheads and the cost of attracting talent," says Arun Jain, chairman and CEO, Polaris Software Lab.

He adds that Hosur as an IT destination will be viable only if a company is considering setting up a 5,000 to 10,000 personnel organisation. "Setting up operations in Hosur might prove counter-productive if travel times are extended," Jain remarks.

"Twenty-year tax incentives, subsidised land-registration charges and the creation of a special economic zone would help us invest in Hosur," says an official at an IT major, who heads its Tamil Nadu operations.

The proposed satellite ring road to Devanahalli airport in the northern part of Bangalore will further improve Hosur's prospects of attracting industrial and employment generating industries.

So if Hosur is to become a hub of technology companies and industrial activities, it will bring in good infrastructure and road links to Bangalore. In the long run, it is also Bangalore's interests to assist in the development of Hosur as one of its satellite towns. This will only pave its way to becoming a true megapolis
