PCAIT, Delhi CM Discuss ICT Growth & Nehru Place Revamp Plan
In a significant step towards bolstering Delhi’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) ecosystem, a delegation from PCAIT (Progressive Channels Association of Information Technology) met with Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, on July 3, 2025. The delegation, led by PCAIT President, Alok Gupta, aimed to discuss the development of a joint roadmap for ICT growth and revamp the iconic Nehru Place.
Nehru Place, a bustling hub of IT and ITES companies, has been a significant contributor to Delhi’s economy. However, the area has faced numerous challenges, including congestion, lack of infrastructure, and environmental concerns. In its meeting with the Delhi CM, PCAIT urged the government to take a comprehensive approach to address these issues and revitalize the area.
The delegation emphasized the need for a coordinated effort between the government, industry, and stakeholders to create an enabling environment for ICT growth. PCAIT highlighted the potential benefits of the ICT sector, including job creation, revenue generation, and the development of innovative solutions. The association also emphasized the importance of a conducive business environment, which includes ease of doing business, affordable infrastructure, and a skilled workforce.
In addition to discussing the growth of the ICT sector, the PCAIT delegation also requested the Delhi CM to declare Nehru Place as a Zero Plastic Zone. This initiative aims to reduce plastic waste and promote a cleaner, healthier environment in the area. The association believes that this move will not only benefit the local community but also enhance the reputation of Nehru Place as a prime business destination.
The Delhi CM, Rekha Gupta, appreciated the efforts of PCAIT and acknowledged the importance of the ICT sector in Delhi’s economy. She assured the delegation that the government is committed to creating a favorable business environment and addressing the challenges faced by the industry. The CM also expressed her support for the proposal to declare Nehru Place as a Zero Plastic Zone and pledged to work with the association to make this a reality.
The meeting between PCAIT and the Delhi CM was a significant milestone in the association’s efforts to promote the growth of the ICT sector in Delhi. The delegation’s discussions with the CM highlighted the importance of collaboration between the government, industry, and stakeholders to create a thriving business environment.
PCAIT has been at the forefront of promoting the growth of the ICT sector in Delhi and has been actively involved in various initiatives to develop the industry. The association has been working closely with the government, industry, and stakeholders to create a conducive environment for ICT growth and development.
The meeting between PCAIT and the Delhi CM has set the stage for further discussions and collaboration between the two parties. The association’s efforts to promote the growth of the ICT sector and revamp Nehru Place will have a significant impact on the Delhi economy and the lives of its citizens.
