The planning, investment and growth of an international/coastal shipping seaport with inter-modal connectivity, along with 4 SEZs/ industrial parks will funnel cargo to the port and entrepreneurial resources into potential sectors in the Malabar region with comparative advantages and high prospects for success. For enhancing port-led manufacturing, port-dependent businesses, export-import trade and economic development of the Malabar region master plans for industrial parks/SEZs are being designed by Tata Consulting Engineers, based on land parcels in possession or under acquisition, for port-based industries/SEZs, Free-Trade Warehousing Zones, etc. in co-operation with Kerala’s industrial development agencies.

Our vision is to create a thriving hub for port-based and other industries by developing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and industrial parks. We are committed to collaborating with the Kerala and Central Governments, infrastructure development agencies, and private partners to achieve this goal.

 

In 2022, M/s Howe Engineering Projects (India) Ltd. prepared the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the port, while Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) is currently working on the Master Plans for the SEZs and industrial parks, with land acquisition underway.
