Industrial Suburb

For the industrial development of the city, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) has established four industrial areas in and around Mysore and are located in Belagola, Belawadi, Hebbal (Electronic City) and Hootagalli areas.[8] The major industries in Mysore include BEML, J.

Since 2003, information technology companies have been creating bases in Mysore, with the city contributing Rs. 1100 crores (US$220 million) to Karnataka's IT exports in the financial year 2007–2008.[10] Infosys has established one of the largest technical training centres in the world and Wipro has established its Global Service Management Center (GSMC) at Mysore.[11][12] Non-IT related services have been outsourced from other countries to companies in Mysore.[13]

Lulls in Development

The industrial sector in the city experienced setbacks when the automobile manufacturer Ideal Jawa and the Sri Krishnarajendra Mills closed their operations.[14] Revival efforts, such as the takeover of the Krishnarajendra Mills by the Atlantic Spinning and Weaving Mills Ltd. have been made, but these attempts have run into other problems.[15]

In 2011, Infosys built a 21,417-square-metre (230,530 sq ft) fire station at Hebbal at a cost of ₹ 4.5 crore for the Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services department.[16]
