The groundbreaking ceremony is a key deliverable from the Invest Kerala Global Summit 2025, a major government initiative to attract investments and transform the state's business environment. The Adani project is among the first to move from proposal to implementation, with officials touting it as a clear sign of the state's commitment to creating an investor-friendly ecosystem. The government is actively working to shed its old image and is now actively courting large-scale investments to drive economic growth and job creation.
The new park is also a strategic move by the Adani Group, which is building a comprehensive multimodal logistics ecosystem in Kerala. This new facility in Kochi will complement the group's existing presence in the state, which includes the operational Vizhinjam International Seaport and the management of Trivandrum International Airport. By connecting these key assets, the group aims to create a seamless and efficient logistics chain that will strengthen its position in Southern India.
Once completed, the logistics park will cover over 13 lakh square feet and is expected to create more than 1,500 jobs. The facility will incorporate advanced digital and sustainable solutions, including EV charging stations, to cater to a variety of sectors such as e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and the automotive industry. It is designed to reduce transportation costs and support local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by integrating them into the supply chain.
In his address, Chief Minister Shri Vijayan described the project as a new step in Kerala's industrial history. Industries Minister P. Rajeev, who presided over the ceremony, echoed this sentiment, highlighting that the project will create new business opportunities and serve as a catalyst for regional economic growth.
