The project, which has already covered 209 PDS shops, will cover nearly 28,000 PDS shops in the state soon, ELCOT Chairman Santhosh Babu told reporters.
State IT Minister Poongothai, who held a review meeting with other officials, including IT Secretary PWC Davidar and Mr. Babu, said the IT parks coming up in Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai would start functioning by year end, as most of the infrastructure and other works were over.
She said the economic slowdown had not affected the occupancy in these parks since they were "export-oriented" SEZs. There was no stagnation in recruitment by IT companies in the state, but there was only a "drop" compared to the previous years, he added.
Surpassing last year's profit of Rs 13.25 crore, ELCOT this year made a profit of Rs 17.7 crore, she said.
