Raheja Mindspace

Coordinates: 17°26′35″N 78°22′52″E / 17.443°N 78.381°E Raheja Mindspace is an industrial park established in Hyderabad's HITEC City developed with about 110 acres of land allotted by APIIC.[1]

Controversy

Similar to Boulder Hills, there are allegations of dilution of the Andhra Pradesh state's ownership (through APIIC) in the Mindspace project with active connivance of previous administrators of APIIC.[2] APIIC former managing director B. P. Acharya, principal secretary (information technology and communication) K Ratna Prabha, and Special Secretary (Information Technology) Gopi Krishna in the state Government, have been implicated by the Anti Corruption Bureau in taking decisions in favor of the developers and against the interests of the public.[3][4][5] Acharya has refuted these allegations of impropriety.[6] Recent negotiations between the Raheja group and APIIC (and Andhra Pradesh) seek to restore the state's share in the ownership and rental revenues from the project.[7][8][9]
