STPI-Pune clocks export of Rs 18,000 crore during lockdown.
Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), Pune, has reported exports of Rs 18,000 crore between March and May, director Sanjay Kumar Gupta said. There were 927 units operating here. STPI Pune directorate covers Maharashtra and Goa, catering to the IT/ITES industry in Pune, Mumbai, Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Kolhapur and Goa.
Gupta said the pandemic had no major impact on the IT and ITES companies operating in the region, with almost 90% to 95% of work being done from home. All mandatory approvals for imports and software exports are being processed and received online, through emails, to ensure seamless operations, he said.
This ensured that the IT /ITES industry continued growth on expected lines, inching towards the Rs 1-lakh-crore mark. Early estimates put the total exports from here in 2019-20 at around `93,000 crore, Gupta said. Maharashtra secures No. 2 spot in exports after Karnataka, which tops the charts.
