The city of Bangalore in India is currently considering building a Formula 1 circuit and the plans for Bangalore to play a big role in the future in India's high technology industries has been given a boost this week with the news that General Motors is opening a new technical centre there. This will provide research and development to support GM's global companies. Located in the International Technology Park, the Technical Centre will eventually house approximately 260 people and will begin operating later this summer. The centre will run two shifts and will thus be operational 24 hours a day, in order to cut down development times.
