Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann attended the ground-breaking of Infosys Ltd’s Mohali campus expansion, a 286 crore project expected to create 2,700 jobs and strengthen the city’s position as a northern India tech hub.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann attended the ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of Infosys Ltd’s campus in Mohali. The project, valued at approximately ₹286 crore, is expected to generate around 2,700 new employment opportunities in the region.
During the event, the Chief Minister highlighted that the expansion would further strengthen Mohali’s position as a key technology and innovation hub in northern India. The campus growth is aimed at supporting Infosys’ ongoing operations and enabling the company to accommodate future technology initiatives.
The proposed expansion reflects continued interest from IT companies in the region, as Punjab seeks to attract large-scale investments and enhance employment prospects for local talent. Industry analysts note that the growth of such IT campuses can have a multiplier effect on the local economy, creating indirect opportunities in allied services, housing, and infrastructure.
Officials involved in the project noted that the campus will feature modern facilities designed to meet global IT standards, supporting both software development and innovation-driven projects. The expansion is also expected to reinforce the city’s reputation as a destination for skilled professionals in the information technology sector.
Punjab has been positioning itself as a destination for IT and technology investments, aiming to balance industrial growth with employment generation. With the addition of the new Infosys facilities, Mohali is likely to see increased demand for technical talent, which could encourage the development of training programs and partnerships with educational institutions.
The project underlines a broader trend of technology companies expanding their footprint in tier-2 cities across India. Experts suggest that such moves are driven by the combination of available talent, supportive infrastructure, and government incentives aimed at promoting regional growth in technology and innovation sectors.
The ground-breaking ceremony marks the beginning of construction, with the campus expected to be operational in the next few years. Local authorities and company representatives have indicated that the development will adhere to modern sustainability standards and provide a conducive environment for technological innovation and professional growth.
