TCS flags off its power, water needs with IDA
INDORE: Two weeks after laying foundation stone for its Rs 500 crore project at Super Corridor in Indore, IT major, TCS has indexed its requirements to start the construction expected to be kicked off by the year end. The company representatives held a meeting with Indore Development Authority (IDA) officials on Monday and discussed the requisite infrastructural facilities including power, water and sewerage lines.
TCS officials said that for the project to be operational, around 8MW power and 1MLD water per day will be required. The work would be completed in 18 months while the first phase of the project is expected to be done by 2016.
IDA executive engineer, S S Rathod told TOI that the TCS officials enlisted their requirements including that of power and water. The company will need 8MW power once the project gets operational but initially it will require around 750KW power, which would be supplied through a temporary connection. "The company can kick off their work with a temporary power connection. It has been advised to apply for the connection which they would get in a week," he said.
For water requirement of the company, IDA will install a pipeline from Yeshwant Sagar dam and start the supply once the construction is over. An agreement in this regard has been signed with the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC). "There are no provisions for supplying water for construction work for which the company will have to use ground water. Sewerage line will also be put in place in coming months," Rathod said. Foundation stone for the phase-I of the project was laid on August 10. The campus will come up on 100-acre land given by state government. It will have software engineering blocks, training facilities, an amphitheatre and other facilities. The park will incorporate green building concepts including zero discharge, energy efficient systems, rain water harvesting and integrated building management.
