The company will set up its second lab in the city
Munich-based TÜV SÜD laid the foundation stone for an additional testing lab and office facility in Bengaluru on December 9. The firm is engaged in testing products, materials and components.
The new facilty for testing and certifying electrical and electronic products and medical devices would come up on three acres of land at KIADB Hitech Defense and Aerospace Park, Devanahalli. The 70,000 square feet lab is scheduled for completion in early 2023 at an investment of ₹130 crore.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
