Thampanoor Bus Terminal to be operational by year-end
The authorities in charge of Thampanoor bus stand-cum-shopping complex are striving to get it operational by the year-end. Unable to meet the June deadline, the contractor, Kumar Group, has set December-end as the new deadline. Began in March 2010, the Rs 55.96-crore project was set for completion on September 26. A joint venture of Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and Kerala Transport Development Finance Corporation Limited, the project is planned on BOT basis. According to Sasikumar, chief planner of Kumar Group, the work was progressing in full swing. “We hope that the terminal will be functional by the end of this year. Construction of the administrative block has been completed. Works on the last floor and interiors are progressing,” he said. S R Navakumar, chief engineer of KSFDC, said that 75 percent of works were over. Asked about a target time, he said he was not certain and they were striving to complete the work by December. The work involves construction of the main block and the administrative block. The main bus block consists of 10 floors with parking area for 330 cars and 500 two-wheelers. The 33,200-square metre bus terminal will have four zones: An arrival bus bay zone; a departure bus bay zone with passenger facilities; a bus terminal supporting facility zone with idle bus parking, repair garage, fuel-filling facility etc; and a commercial zone with a shopping complex and convention centre. Back in April, Health Minister V S Sivakumar visited the site and asked the authorities to complete the work in September. |

- Great updates, Ziyan. Wish this would become operational sooner rather than later.

Hi Guys
I think this one is taking lot of time...still it will take minimum of another 6 months...and no one is bothered abt it..once the bus stand starts functioning the issues with road traffic in thampanoor - overbridge and thampanoor-manorama junction will be solved.... I think TDF can do something on this front and is it possible to get it pressurised thru any MLA/MP... I knew TDF is doing great things and you are the guys who is really working for the development along with FRAT Any ideas or thots to get it pushed....Calicut bustand - shopping complex is almost completed and heard started giving to individuals for shops...THings like monorail/vizhinjam are long term goals which our politicians hardly has any interest..atleastt things like this can be done...our fate... ![]() ![]() ![]() Kiran |

KSRTC, Private construction company joint fake performance on Thampanoor bus stand construction
സാമ്പത്തിക പ്രതിസന്ധിക്കിടയിലും സ്വകാര്യ നിര്*മ്മാണക്കമ്പനിക്കുവേണ്ടി കെഎസ്ആര്*ടിസിയും കെടിഡിഎഫ്*സിയും ഒത്തുകളിക്കുന്നു. കരാര്* സമയപരിധി കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടും തമ്പാനൂര്* ബസ് സ്റ്റാന്*ഡ് സമുച്ചയത്തിന്റെ നിര്*മ്മാണം അനിശ്ചിതമായി നീട്ടിക്കൊണ്ടുപോകാന്* നിര്*മ്മാണകമ്പനിക്ക് പൊതുമേഖലാസ്ഥാപനങ്ങളുടെ ഒത്താശ ചെയ്യുകയാണ്.

![]() KTDFC, the facilitator of the BOT project, has scheduled the auctioning of built-up space for shops and offices in the terminal. The auction for allotment of around 3.4 lakh-square feet built-up space will be held at 11am on March 17. Last edited by ASGeorge; March 3rd, 2013 at 06:24 AM. |

So this is in all probability going to be another feather in KSRTC's crown in terms of corruption & negligence .If the structural engineers submit a report saying that the building is not safe then its doomed . A Bus Terminal that too in state capital which was supposed to be completed years back is the best example of the apathy/inefficency of Kerala govt and transport minister / bueracrats . The most interesting finding is that instead of sand some clay type substance and sand from sea has been used for construction.The construction was started in 2010 and where the hell was the supervising authority who was supposed to monitor the quality aspects |

I am sure that from the excellent quality standards observed, the KSRTC might have had something to do with supervision of the construction. Even then, it is disappointing that such a large project t should be leased out via a random auction than a scientific process that involves creating a scientific tenant mix, that in the end may yield much better financial results.
