GROWTH OF IT PROJECTS ON IR
IR’s capital budget for IT is Rs. 273 crore in
2006-07
It is projected to increase to about Rs. 900
crore to Rs. 1200 crore by 2010 – 2011
To make this scale of operation possible,
requirement of space and other facilities for
CRIS and FOIS organization needs to be
significantly increased
