May 29, 2026 | Kolhapur: The technological and industrial landscape of Western Maharashtra has received a major boost following the formal handover of land for the proposed Kolhapur Information Technology Park. In a milestone development, the Revenue Department has officially transferred 34.36 hectares of government land located at Shenda Park (Kasba Karveer) to the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to facilitate immediate infrastructure development.

Representatives of the local tech industry expressed deep gratitude toward the state government, public representatives, and administrative machinery for bypassing red tape to expedite the project. Industry leaders emphasized that with the land acquisition hurdles officially cleared, the region is well on its way to establishing itself as the next major growth engine for Maharashtra’s booming IT sector, promising massive job creation and localized digital innovation.
