Ports
Out of the total of 20 ports in the State, 14 are located
in Uttara Kannada District. The remaining 6 are located
in the Dakshina Kannada district. Important among both these
are the Mangalore Port and Karwar Port. Importance of these
two ports will assume greater significance, if the abundant
deposits of iron-ore, and manganese in Bellary Hospet region
are tapped. Besides the city of Bangalore, there are two
other airports. (I) Mangalore, and (ii) Belgaum. There are
indications that Bangalore will soon become an International
Airport. Air India, Lufthansa, Kuwait Airways operate international
cargo flights from Bangalore on regular basis.
Roads
Karnataka has a good network of roads. It has 6 National
Highways passing through the State. State highways and Rural
Roads Network make inter-city and town communication accessible.
It is worth mentioning here that the rural Road network
has brought remotest villages in touch with towns.
The National Highway covers 1968 kms, the State Highway
cover 17,997 kms. The village and municipal roads cover
about 95,000 kms. The road length per 100 kmarea is 65-70
kms in Karnataka which compares well with the National average.
Railway
The Railway network covers a total length of 3090 kms, Major
cities like Bangalore, Hubli-Dharwad, Belgaum, Gulbarga,
Hassan and Mangalore are well connected to other parts of
the country.
Airports
Karnataka has five functional airports at Hubli, Mysore,
Belgaum, Mangalore and Bangalore.Bangalore is well connected
with the rest of the country.International flights originate
from Bangalore as well.A new international airport for Bangalore
is scheduled to be commissioned shortly.In addition to the
need for up-gradation of existing airports, the Government
proposes to establish domestic airports in district towns
which have adequate economic potential.The State also recognizes
the need to increase connectivity to areas where large projects
are coming up.The State has identified Hubli, gulbarga,
Mysore, bellary and Hassan for the construction of minor
airports to handle 50 seater aircraft initially.
Power
The State has the distinction of having established the
first Hydro-Electric Power Generation Station in Asia. Today,
the power generating potential through Hydel Projects is
very promising here.
The total potential in the State is estimated at 7,700 MW,
of which about 2,400 MW has been tapped. Installed capacity
is expected to go upto 5,295 MW by the end of the 8th Five
Year Plan.
Future Projects
Mini and Micro Hydro-Electric Projects and Non-Conventional
Energy Sources are estimated to generate 2,910 MW, which
thermal power projects of 1,500 MW are proposed to be implemented
in the 9th and 10th Plan periods.
Besides the power generated by the stations located in Karnataka,
the State gets its share from the Central Power Stations
at Ramagundam and Neyveli.
Steady industrialisation of the State has seen a steady
rise in the energy demand. With the completion of the on-going
projects and the implementation on future ones, the State
will balance the demand and supply of power.
Communications
There are presently 3,75,000 telephone lines in the State.
Subscriber Trunk Dialing and International Subscriber Dialing

Karnataka offers strong financial support to entrepreneurs
through several Government of Karnataka institutions like

institutions like IDBI, IFCI, SIDBI, NABARD and TDICI.

in the country with an extensive network of banks, both
nationalised and private, operating all over the state.

up their branches here. |
