The facility will be located in a Special Economic Zone, which is a part of the mammoth 4,354 hectare Multimodal International Hub Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) project.
The Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) a subsidiary of the State Government is developing the project. The facility will be developed in three phases and provide employment to 14,000 people on completion. In the first phase, Rs 100 crore will be invested. Big IT companies like TCS and Mahindra Satyam already have their campuses at MIHAN.

Nagpur will also provide trained manpower to the company as the city has many colleges of higher learning.
