Introduction
Established on 5th June 1991, Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), an autonomous society under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, has since emerged as the growth driver of Indian IT/ITeS/ESDM industry. With a mandate to promote software and electronic hardware exports from the country by implementing Software Technology Park (STP) & Electronic Hardware Technology Park (EHTP) Schemes, STPI pioneered the ease of doing business for policy governance in India by building a robust ecosystem to provide single window clearance services, world-class internet connectivity, state-of-the-art incubation facilities and other infrastructure services to encourage, promote and boost software exports.
With 11 jurisdictional directorates and 62 centres, STPI has expanded its presence pan-India to disperse tech-driven entrepreneurship to tier-II/III cities. STPI has warranted the growth of software exports and generated employment and entrepreneurial opportunities by buoying the economic progress of the nation. In FY 2020-21, STPI-registered units contributed Rs. 4,96,313 crore software exports.
STPI Noida was the first centre to come up in NCR as an IT Hub and controlling other STPI centres in secondary cities in north and central India. Today, STPI Noida has made NCR as the second largest software exporting region in the country and has also established 11 successful sub-centres. In FY 2018-19, STPI-registered units under STPI-Noida jurisdiction contributed Rs. 50,029 core software exports.
