Mahabubnagar: While Hyderabad remains the IT sector’s hub, Tier-II cities in the state are emerging as the major growth drivers as a result of state government initiatives such as the construction of IT towers in Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam, Siddipet, and Mahabubnagar districts to provide jobs to the local youth.

As part of it, the five-story IT tower constructed on a sprawling four acres at a cost of Rs 40 crore with all facilities for IT companies to set up their units is all set for inauguration on Saturday. IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao will inaugurate the newly-constructed IT Tower in Divitipalli on the outskirts of Mahabubnagar on Saturday.
