Kerala pioneered the concept of dedicated infrastructure with the setting up of Techno park – the first of its kind in the country. It is also home to the second LNG regassification terminal.

When it comes to centres of excellence, apart from the Indian Institute of Management and the National Institute of Technology, Kerala also has institutes such as the Indian Institute of Space and Technology and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research.

GEOGRAPHY

Kerala enjoys the advantage of being on the transnational trade corridor, connecting the Gulf to Singapore, Europe and to the Far East.

With the Arabian Sea to the west, the Western Ghats towering 500-2700 m in the east and networked by forty-four rivers, Kerala enjoys diverse geographical features. From tall mountains and deep valleys to endless backwaters and an extensive coastline, Kerala has it all.

Bestowed with a pleasant and equable climate throughout the year, Kerala is a tropical land with the coast running down its entire length and the Western Ghats forming a protective barrier against the dry winds from upto north. The monsoons (June-September & October-November) and summer (February-May) are the seasons markedly experienced here, while winter is only a slight drop in temperature from the normal range of 28-32°C.

MEGA PROJECTS

Supplementary Gas Infrastructure ProjectKochi Metro Rail ProjectVizhinjam International Deepwater Multipurpose SeaportMonorail Project in Thiruvananthapuram

SUPPLEMENTARY GAS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT

A Joint Venture Company, Kerala Gail Gas Limited (KGGL) has been formed between KSIDC and M/s. Gail Gas Limited. KGGL will take up activities like City Gas Distribution in Kerala, CNG Stations for KSRTC Buses, establishment of Gas Training Institute, laying of Spur Lines from GAIL's main pipeline, setting up of small Gas based small power generating plants etc. The total investment for the project is estimated at Rs.2,000 Crores ($400 million).

KOCHI METRO RAIL PROJECT

The Project envisages construction of a world-class Light Mass Rapid Transit System in Kochi to enhance the quality of life for the Greater Kochi metro area by improving regional connections and reducing overcrowding, traffic congestion, transit time, air and noise pollution. The Project, having a total route length of 25 Km would be having 21 stations, from Aluva to Petta. The construction methodology proposed is elevated viaduct carried over pre-stressed concrete ‘U’ shaped girders. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) by the name ‘Kochi Metro Rail Limited’ has been formed for the implementation of the project. The estimated project cost is Rs. 4500 Crores ($900 million).

VIZHINJAM INTERNATIONAL DEEPWATER MULTIPURPOSE SEAPORTThis Multipurpose Seaport is an ambitious project of Government of Kerala,

being developed at Vizhinjam in Thiruvananthapuram. The project is proposed to follow Landlord Port Model, where dredging, reclamation and basic infrastructure like construction of break-water and quay will be done by Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (a company fully owned by Govt of Kerala). Port Operation will be on PPP model. Terminal superstructure will be built by private operator who will also operate and maintain it for 30 years. The port development along with the external infrastructure work is envisaged to be carried out in phases with the cumulative cost estimated at around Rs. 7000 Crores ($1.4 billion). The port is envisaged to provide in total 2000m of quay length in three phases and is designed to cater primarily for containers transshipment, besides providing for other type of cargo such as Multi-Purpose, Break Bulk.

MONORAIL PROJECT IN THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

This is a prestigious single-rail mass transit project of Government of Kerala having a route length of 28.4 Km, connecting the towns of Kazhakuttom and Balaramapuram in Thiruvananthapuram district. Monorail is a rail-based transportation system based on a single rail, which acts as its sole support and guideway. The rail will be straightened on a track upon the median that divides the main road. Concerns like land acquisition will be minimum, as only junctions are needed to be widened to incorporate the passage. The running train is to comprise of four cars capable of carrying more than 200 persons at a time. The trains would breeze past through the elevated rails at a safe speed of 40Kmph. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 3408 Crores ($682 million). The detailed Traffic study on the project is being done by National Transportation Planning & Research Centre (NATPAC).
