BENGALURU, 31 JULY

All the quantum tech players who want to leave Maharashtra will be welcomed to set up their facilities in the City, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said on Thursday. In the City, we have enough human resources as well as infrastructure, he added.

"We are ready to provide whatever they need," Shivakumar said on the sidelines of the inaugural event of the Quantum India Bengaluru 2025.

“The Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra had made a statement a few days ago that IT companies are moving from Maharashtra to Bengaluru. I would like to thank him for saying that,” Shivakumar remarked. 

On 26 July, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ajit Pawar, caused a flutter by revealing that Hinjewadi IT Park in Pune is "moving out" to City and Hyderabad. A video of Pawar's angry outburst while inspecting civic works in Pimpri Chinchwad has gone viral.

"We are ruined. The entire IT park of Hinjewadi is moving out. It's going out of Pune, out of Maharashtra to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, don't you care at all?" he said.
