He added: "HCL Technologies is one of India’s largest IT companies and is our first investor from that market.
"The company is a global IT leader with operations in the USA, Europe and Asia and its investment here represents a further strengthening of Northern Ireland's reputation as an international customer contact centre location which has already seen it attract investors such as Halifax, Acer, Teletech, Abbey National and the Prudential.
"HCL is committed to working in a strategic partnership with BT in developing the Apollo Road facility in terms of its services and employment and I welcome BT’s continuing involvement in the drive to expand the number of customer contact centres in Northern Ireland.”
