Thanks "chekuthan" for the doc....

Looks like a good deal for IT companies to get land @ Rs 206 lakhs per acre.

This clause is also good, hope that gets enforced :

Time Line for commencement Of construction in the leased land: Within 6 months from the date of execution of lease agreement subject to obtaining necessary statutory approvals.

I wishes, I could own a 5 cent of land in that piece of land!!!!

Dear MI i have 5 cent plot in that area, if you want i will sell to you @ 50,00,000/- per cent

Good work Chekuthan

Its a very good deal but Infopark Authorities have to make sure that they get the basic infrastructure in place on time..That will attract MNC's and Developers.. I m not sure how well they have progressed on this.

It is just a joke, I don't have land there

] The present residentail land prices around infopark (1 km radius) are Rs. 5 - 8 lakhs. Few years back , it was crossed Rs.10 lakh/cent

Apartment rates have also eased up..It looks far more realistic nowadays... May be because of oversupply.

Cognizant expands its Kochi operations

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Cognizant, a NASDAQ-listed, US-headquartered provider of information technology, is expanding its operations in Kerala by leasing 15 acres of land at the Kochi Infopark campus.

The company Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kerala government for this.

When fully completed, Cognizant's new campus in Infopark Phase II will have a built-up area of 1.6 million sq ft and the capacity to accommodate around 12,000 professionals.

Cognizant will develop the campus in phases.

The first phase is being built at a cost of approximately Rs.250 crore and will consist of a 550,000 sq ft software development block, which will accommodate over 4,000 professionals.

Cognizant at present has over 1,500 professionals working from the first phase of Kochi Infopark.

Present at the signing ceremony was Kerala Industries Minister P. K. Kunhalikutty, who said that it was recently that the government has released the 'Emerging Kerala' tag line because it is emerging slowly and strongly as the land of opportunities.

"Big IT names like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Oracle, HCL, Cognizant and Cap Gemini are setting up offices in the state. Today, we are at the threshold of the next phase of IT growth in Kerala and the government assures all support to all companies who will play a key role in the development of the state as a leading IT hub of the country," said Kunhalikutty.

"We are committed to expanding our operations in Kochi and tapping into the world-class talent in the state of Kerala. This investment in a new campus in Kochi is a part of Cognizant's commitment to grow its operations in this region, and work closely with academia to further enhance the knowledge quotient," said R. Chandrasekaran, president and managing director, Global Delivery, Cognizant

In days to come, surely, Kerala will be a major IT destination and we will set the best Kerala Model of IT before highly polarized urban concepts of India..... I am sure, in next 10 to 15 years, Kochi, Trivandrum and Kozhikode along with their satellite centers like Thrissur, Kollam, Kannur would see itself as one of the nation's biggest Knowledge and Information zone...

Who knows, may be in future, Kerala itself may create a Silicon Coast?

These news thats coming now a days are really fanastic and Kochi will surely rock as a potpourri city with a deadly cocktail mix of IT, Trade, Heavy Industries, Port industries, Aviation and Tourism.......
