Electronics City is an industrial park spread over 330 acres (1.3 km²) just outside Bangalore, India, exclusively meant for electronics industries. It houses more than a hundred industries, including IT industry leaders such as Motorola, Infosys, Siemens, ITI, Wipro, Syscon etc. The area is maintained by Keonics, which provides all the necessary infrastructure.
With the development of Electronics City Phase 2, many more companies have set up shop here and this has led to enormous strain on the connecting roads from Bangalore. In November 2004 the government decided to construct a 9 kilometer long elevated road to enable smoother traffic flow. Work is scheduled to start in April 2005.
Electronic City also is the house for Indian Institute Of Information Technology, Bangalore. It is one of the premier graduate school in India that focusses on all aspects of Information Technology.
