Almost 11 years after its conception, the civil works for the construction of an export centre at Hebbal Industrial area, on the outskirts of the city, began on Sunday. It is being established with government funding at a cost of ₹4.5 crore and will act as a single-window agency for all export activities and give a fillip to export promotion from Mysuru. The centre is the first-of-its-kind in Karnataka and will feature an export house, an auditorium for training, and will give a fillip to the export business of Mysuru, he added. The centre was mooted in 2008 by the then Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Public Works Minister H.C. Mahadevappa laid the foundation stone for it in 2014. The centre will be expanded in the second phase and will feature additional amenities based on the requirement of the exporting units.
