The Karnataka Government has formally approved the allotment of 6.17 acres of land in Shivakote village, Hesaraghatta Hobli, Yelahanka Taluk, for the establishment of Quantum City (QCity). The initiative, anchored by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), aims to create a world-class ecosystem dedicated to quantum research and technological innovation.
The decision reflects the government’s vision to make Karnataka a global hub for frontier science. Officials stated that the sanctioning of land for Quantum City marks a strong and lasting foundation for future growth in advanced research and industry collaboration. The announcement comes just weeks after the state successfully hosted the Quantum India Bengaluru Conference, where Nobel laureates and leading scientists from across the globe participated.
Quantum City is envisioned as a comprehensive campus combining cutting-edge research, advanced technology development, and strong academic–industry linkages. It will feature state-of-the-art laboratories, specialized production clusters for quantum hardware and processors, a high-performance computing data centre, and dedicated spaces for startup incubation. The project is expected to attract international collaborations, nurture deep-tech entrepreneurship, and generate high-value employment opportunities.
The land allotment was made under provisions of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, following recommendations from the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. The Revenue Department has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru Urban district to oversee implementation and ensure compliance with all statutory requirements.
The government highlighted that this project is not only an investment in scientific research but also an investment in the state’s youth and future. By combining ICTS’s academic excellence with the forward-looking Quantum City initiative, Karnataka is positioning itself as a leader in mathematics, physics, data sciences, and quantum technologies.
