The Hinduja group is also in the process of setting up of a Knowledge Park in Hyderabad involving an investment of Rs800 crore. The Park will cater to IT, ITES, biotechnology and health-care sectors.
GOCL owns several large properties in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Rourkela and New Delhi. Sanjay Hinduja said the group is also looking at sectors such as health care, insurance, financial services , oil and energy. The group presently runs a charitable hospital in India, but plans to take the health- care business to other cities on a commercial scale.
