Software exports from Haryana have touched Rs.140 billion ($3.55 billion) in fiscal 2006-07, the state's IT department spokesman said here Tuesday.
Haryana improved its rank to ninth from 15th among the states in IT exports, according to the latest 'e-Readiness' report of the central government's IT department.
The state's IT exports of Rs.140 billion in 2006-07 were a significant improvement over Rs.8.9 billion worth of such exports in 1999-2000.
Gurgaon, neighbouring national capital New Delhi, has emerged as the hub of IT exports from the state.
The spokesman said that other areas in the state that fall under the national capital region were being developed on the lines of Gurgaon to attract more investment in the IT sector.
The government is also implementing a statewide area network (SWAN) project to link all government offices up to the sub-district level through computers. The project is worth Rs.1.03 billion and will be completed by Dec 31.
