Trissur (Trisivaperur in olden days) is the cultural capital of Kerala state - famous for its
colourful Pooram (temple festival). Trissur is situated 80 kms north of Cochin. Cochin's
recent boom has triggered a rise in commercial importance of Trissur. Besides, India's 4th biggest international airport - Cochin International is situated midway between Cochin and Trissur.
This thread start by showcasing the first mega residential project in this town.

Sobha City - array of 26 storeyed residential apartments
Total built up area - 3.5 million sqft.
Investment Rs.850 crore. ($188 million)



That makes Trissur the only place in Kerala after Cochin to have 25+ storeyed highrises.

Trissur gets an IT SEZ !!

Trichur poised to enter IT Business Market with Trichur Infopark by Elite Group

ET- 14.06.07 LEADING FOOD processing company Elite Group along with NRIs is promoting an IT park in Thrissur at a cost of Rs 250 crore. The 47 acre park will be situated at Pudukkad near the Kochi-Thrissur highway. TR Ragulal, managing director of Elite Group told ET that the company would hold over 50% share of the park which has been christened Trichur Technopark.

The company has already applied for IT SEZ status. “Usually the availability of land stands in the way of SEZ. But in our case, the acquisition is over and hence we are expecting the notification soon,’’ Mr Ragulal said. The SEZ norms require setting apart 1 million sq ft for IT.

The Rs 150 crore Elite Group is in search of an anchor customer for the park. It has approached Rolta and Satyam as most of the other major IT players have taken land at Technopark at Thiruvananthapuram or Infopark at Kochi. “The anchor customer should take at least 2 lakh sq ft. We will do a joint branding exercise with them for the park. Rolta feels there is a good potential for IT engineering outsourcing in the country,’’ he said.

Apart from the IT facilities, the park will be developed as a township with school, hospital, shopping mall and recreational facilities. The park land is atop a hill offering a panoramic view. According to Mr Ragulal, the biggest advantage will be the proximity to Cochin International Airport. The park is 30 kms away from the airport and 15 kms away from Thrissur town. With the four-laning of the road now under construction, it will be hardly 30 minutes drive to the airport, Mr Ragulal points out.

Being in central Kerala, Thrissur is accessible from both south and northern parts of Kerala. Besides, it is a cultural capital and a centre of ayurveda companies.
