DIT REGISTRATION

DIT stands for Department of Information Technology. The Government of Maharashtra announced its 1st IT Policy in the year 1998. That was followed by the Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services (IT/ITES) Policy-2003 & IT/ITES Policy-2009. The objective was to generate employment, increase efficiency and also to improve the quality of life. The IT/ITES Policy-2009 came into force from the 29th of August, 2009.

Since 2001, the concept of private IT parks has come into existence. During the IT/ITES – 2003 policy period several (around 253) private IT parks have obtained Letter of Intent with a built-up space of 3.90 million square metres. During the IT/ITES - 2009 policy period approximately 212 private IT parks have obtained Letter of Intent with a built-up space of 8.93 million square metres. In totality, about 465 private IT parks a built-up space of 12.83 million square metres will be available for setting-up IT/ITES units.

Based on the experience gained while implementing the earlier DIT registration policies and based on the recent developments in IT/ITES sector an urgent need was felt to formulate a new policy to keep pace with the global developments and give a fillip to the IT/ITES industry in the State.

For preparing this policy document several rounds of discussion have been held with various stakeholders. Basis the outcome of these discussions plus the experience of the department in implementing earlier IT/ITES policies, the DIT registration policy has been framed.
