Chennai, April 9 Syntel Inc, a US-based software company with offshore development centres in India, plans to invest $50-60 million (Rs 200-240 crore) in capacity expansion in India this year. This will enable the company to add around 6,000 seats to accommodate 2,800-3,500 employees, according to the company's President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr Keshav Murugesh.
It spent over $32 million in capex during 2007 and added more than 4,000 finished seats in India.

"Our confidence is demonstrated by the 2008 investment levels," he said. contd on page 2...
