The Growth Booster in Northern India

The Role of STPI in the growth of the IT industry has been tremendous, especially in the case of start-up SMEs. The STP scheme is a 100 percent export-oriented scheme for the development and export of computer software, including export of professional services using communication links or physical media. This scheme is unique in its nature as it focuses on one product/sector, i.e. computer software. The scheme integrates the government concept of 100 percent Export Oriented Units (EOUs) and Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and the concept of Science Parks/Technology Parks, as operating elsewhere in the world. The total IT/ITeS exports from STPI-Gurugram in FY 2020-21 touched Rs. 25,017.80 crore.
