Infosys's Rs 250-crore sale of a 53.56-acre land parcel in Bengaluru to Puravankara has drawn scrutiny. While some speculated the land was government-allotted and thus restricted from sale, sources from the Karnataka Industries Department clarified that the parcel was private land acquired by Infosys five years ago. The government had allotted other plots to Infosys between 1998 and 2002, with sale deeds issued in 2006 allowing for resale.
