Excellent start for the Kollam Techno Park thread. The Kollam Techno Park is expected to attract more business due to proximity of Techno Park (70 Kms) and the upcoming Techno City near to Pallipuram (60 KMs). Moreover the park will the most picturesque one as the location is an excellent site which is calm, serene and enchanting.
Some nice and attractive building suiting the natural scenes there will make the park more picturesque.
Also, there are many industries owned by the government in Kundara which are not functioning properly like the Starch, Alind etc. Government can even think of integrating these land with the Techno Park at Kundara so that the expansion plans of the park will be relatively easier in future. Alind has huge area (more than 100 acres) under their custody.

I am so excited to see that wonderful moment. My hometown is just a few kilometres from the Kollam Techno Park site. I have heard that the land prizes at Kundara are escalated once the tech park news has come up.

Yes... the land prices have shot up in Kundara town area. Already builders are planning villa projects nearby due to the potential of this area.
Kollam Techno Park @ Kundara is located at a calm and quiet place almost 15 Kms away from the city and 3 KMs away from the heart of Kundara town.
It is truly the revival of Kundara as a major industrial town.

The government would hold 51 percent stake in the district level parks and the rest will be with private and public companies, which would build the necessary infrastructure.

The location where the Kollam Techno Park comes up is near to the industrial belt of Kundara. KEL, Alind, Starch and ofcourse Cyramics are very near to the site. If planned with a futuristic vision, the excess and unused land of these companies can be utilized for the expansion of Kollam Techno Park. Kundara is very well connected to Kollam city and the adjoining major towns like Kottarakkara and Punalur with good roads and railway line.
Moreover, the upcoming NH 220 will pass very near to the Kollam Techno Park.:banana:

Hi Arshad, Great news. But this news is more relevant in the Palakkad thread or the Kerala Development and Projects thread. This thread is related to projects and news related to Kollam Techno Park only.
