| Work on the second phase of the Fab City near the Shamshabad international airport here is all set to begin within the next four months following the in-principle nod given for the semi-conductor policy by the Union Cabinet in New Delhi on Thursday.
The State Government was sitting with fingers crossed about the Centre's policy since work on the first phase of providing infrastructure has been progressing at a brisk pace. It now expects the modalities relating to the incentive package and subsidy to be in place within a fortnight.
"We expect work on the second phase of the Fab City to begin in three months. The Government has already applied for pollution clearance certificate for the first phase and it may be sanctioned in three weeks.
Thursday's announcement is very encouraging for the prestigious project for which Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy has made untiring efforts," C. S. Rao, advisor to the Government on IT affairs, told The Hindu on Friday.
The Assembling, testing, mark, packaging (ATMP) unit, which forms part of the first phase and is expected to cost US $ 150 million, will be completed within one year, he said.
More firms interested
Mr. Rao indicated that the Government was "actively talking" to two more industry majors to establish units here. "They are also keenly interested and have promised us that they will get back after financial closure," he said.
