Bangalore - A week after West Bengal government dashed the state's dream of becoming a IT hub by scrapping its ambitious plan for a Rs.10,000 crore IT township where top software giants like Wipro and Infosys Technologies were supposed to set up their units, Infosys said its plans remained unchanged.

According to S. Gopalakrishnan, CEO, Infosys, though West Bengal's IT project "has run into trouble," it has no plans of moving out from the state.
The "company is not moving its West Bengal project at this point and also not planning to set up new facilities," Gopalakrishnan said.
However, Infosys would not be considering setting up its unit in the state even if the government gives it the necessary land. "We have decided to go slow on new projects and will focus only on expanding our existing facilities," Gopalakrishnan said.
Currently around 3.5 million sq.ft. of infrastructure is being developed in the existing facilities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune and in others, he said. "Capex for this year would be Rs.600 crore," he added.
Earlier, Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai had said that chances that "we would consider something in West Bengal in the foreseeable future are very dim."
