A second IT City will be developed in Sector-15 of the Vrindavan Yojana on 32 acres of land. Two large plots, measuring 12 and 20 acres respectively, have been prepared for the project and will be allocated to IT companies through an auction. Companies will be required to set up data centres and tech units on these plots.

A new township spanning nearly 159 acres will be developed in Khajur and Tindola villages, Nawabganj tehsil, Barabanki. The project will be led by Shalimar Corp Ltd., which has already acquired 90% of the required land. The remaining will be acquired by the Housing Council.

The Barabanki township will be directly linked to Kisan Path and incorporated into the State Capital Region (SCR). Residents will benefit from improved education and healthcare facilities. The development will follow international landscaping standards to establish a modern residential hub.
