Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, that manages the Software Technology Park scheme.
It is an export oriented scheme for the development and export of computer software, including export of

parks, freedom for 100% foreign equity investment and tax incentives. STPI provides physical hosting for the
National Internet Exchange of India.
STPI claims to have played a seminal role in India having earned a reputation as an information technology
superpower. More than 6,000 businesses are registered under the STPI umbrella, with 36% growth by value in
2005-06 exports over the previous year. The state with the largest export contribution was Karnataka (see
Bangalore). STPI has a presence in many of the major cities of India including the cities of Bangalore,

STP schemes provide facilities for the IT industry, helping them undertake software development and IT enabled
services for 100% exports that include professional services. For that, data communication links have been
