Leading IT services firm Satyam Computer Services will be allotted 50 acres of land in Chennai by the Tamil Nadu government for expanding its operations.

The Hyderabad-based company would be allotted 50 acres of land in the IT Corridor, in South Chennai, for establishing its new campus, state Information Technology Secretary Vivek Harinarain said.

The company's top brass, including chairman Ramalinga Raju, had met chief minister Jayalalithaa a couple of months back, requesting 100 acres of land to establish a big campus.

Currently, Satyam Computers has six offices in the city, including a development centre in the IT corridor, employing over 3,000 people.

When pointed out that Satyam Computers had requested for 100 acres, he said, 50 acres would be allotted at this stage. The government would consider the request for the remaining 50 acres at a later stage.

It is expected that Satyam Computers would take at least 5-6 months to set up its new facility in the IT Corridor, where a clutch of top IT firms including TCS and Wipro have development centres.
