Abstract
This paper takes a close look at the factors that led to the expansion of India’s ICT service industry into second-and third-tier cities in northern India. The following two points will be considered. The first is regarding the industrial development policies for the ICT service industry by the Uttarakhand state government. The second is the actual operations of ICT service companies located in Dehradun. Examination of these points will clarify a facet of the current conditions of industry development within the spatial structure of northern India, which have relatively monopole concentration to the National Capital Region of Delhi, as well as uncover new issues that manifested under the state’s autonomy with industrial developments.
