Won't let TCS go away from Lucknow: UP Finance Minister
Amid reports that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest software player may shut down its unit in Lucknow, the Uttar Pradesh government, on Sunday, stated that it will not let TCS go out of the state capital.
"We will not let it (TCS) go from the state capital. We will look into it," UP Finance Minister, Rajesh Agarwal said.
It has also been reported that TCS employees have approached Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to look into the matter.
Agarwal's assurance came after UP ministers Swami Prasad Maurya and Mohsin Raza assured the employees last week that their interests would be protected.
"There have been rumours and reports being circulated in the media about the company's operations in Lucknow. TCS would like to clarify that it is only consolidating its UP operations in Noida and there will be no job loss as a consequence," a TCS spokesperson had said in a statement.
"TCS is working to ensure that employees get the opportunities in Noida and other centres across India," the statement added.
