I suggest we post only Highrise buildings ( Residential) atleast 15 + storeys , except in case if the builder is of very high repute say Like DLF. If we start posting small buildings , then forum will get crowded.

Kochi is now in the league of 30+ storied towers , so I guess Forum also should think BIG.

Confident group is building a software Tower with an area of 1 lakh sq ft ,2 luxury resorts and 2 townships all in Ernakulam.

Its heard that DLF will launch its first project at Vytila , may be by July . It’s a massive complex with 300 Flats . But not a big Highrise , its only 15 storied .

Confident Group seems so Very bullish on Kochi .

Welcome to the forum !! :cheers:

Your starters were too good.

IndiGo was naturally expected, but Tiger was a news. Cochin is going to be given Metro airport status as it has
crossed the 350 per week long ago. Projected traffic for 2007-2008 is about 3.2 million.
As always, this target is likely to be crossed by CIAL.

Confident group announces IT park at Maradu

The ultra modern Software Tower is spread over a constructed area of 1,00,000 s ft and would be designed by Confident Design Studio. This Commercial Tower is part of the ultra modern Avior Apartment and Cascade Resort project. This Project is part of Confident Cascade-Kochi Enclave situated on a 3,92,040 Sft of prime land facing the exclusive backwaters in Maradu, Kochi.

Now we can reasonably expect IT park projects of Desai, Abad and Mather to take off.

Mitsui, Exmar in race for Petronet LNG deal
Richa Mishra
Mamuni Das

Companies shortlisted through global tendering process

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shipping needs
Petronet, through its proposed shipping subsidiary, plans to have joint ventures with shipping companies and operators.
The company would require 10 new ships in the coming years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Delhi June 3 The consortia of Mitsui, Exmar, MISC, and K Line are in fray to bag the shipping contract from Petronet LNG Ltd (PLL) to haul gas to its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.

Petronet, through its proposed shipping subsidiary, plans to have joint ventures with shipping companies and operators selected to transport gas for it.

Tendering Process

The new subsidiary would hold 49 per cent stake in such ventures and the ship owners and operators would hold the balance 51 per cent. A senior PLL official told Business Line that the companies have been shortlisted through a global tendering process. "We have given our specifications and the companies have to come back to us by June 30," he said.

This would be around the same time when PLL is expected to award the engineering procurement contract (EPC) for its Kochi LNG terminal, since the requirement of ships would arise only after the terminal is ready.

PLL plans to charter two LNG tankers of 1,65,000 to 1,75,000 cubic-metre capacities each from ship owners and operators to ship gas to Kochi for 25 years.

Incidentally, in its bid document, PLL had also unveiled its plans to diversify into shipping business. Funds required for building a ship would be about $260 million, and investments would be made depending on the equity stake, he said.

Currently, PLL is processing the EPC bids for the LNG terminal.

The consortia, which have technically qualified for EPC are IHI, SN Technigaz, and Sofregaz. The official said that PLL was hopeful of opening the price bids by June 30 for the proposed 2.5-million tonne per annum (mtpa) Kochi terminal. While, the construction of a terminal takes about four years, construction of a ship takes about two-and-half years. The Kochi terminal is expected to come up by 2010.

The official said that the company would require 10 new ships in the coming years. To begin with, it requires two new LNG ships for its greenfield re-gassification terminal of 2.5 mtpa capacity proposed at Kochi.

With plans to raise the terminal capacity to 5 mtpa, PLL would require two more LNG ships depending on the quantity being sourced. For its existing Dahej terminal, the company would require additional three ships taking the total number to six once the capacity expansion is completed.

CIAL gets full length taxiway

That's another landmark. With air traffic soaring beyond 400 services per week,
this measure is timely.
Cochin is the seventh busiest in the country and the only metro level airport of Kerala with close to 2.6 million passengers last year

Parallel taxi track at Kochi airport

Pioneer News Service | Kochi

Construction of a full-length parallel taxi track at the Kochi international airport at Nedumbassery has been completed and it will be handed over for aircraft operations soon, Fisheries Minister S Sarma said.

Sarma, who is also the chairman, sub-committee of the board of directors of the airport company, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), said that aircraft operations at the airport had been increasing considerably leading to frequent air traffic congestions overhead and longer runway occupancy on the ground.

The Airports Authority of India and the operating airlines had been requesting CIAL for taking up the construction of a full-length taxi track at the earliest. The board of directors of CIAL had decided to construct the full-length taxi track and Techni Bharati Limited was engaged for the job, he said.

The total length of taxi track completed under this project was 2607 metres. The width of the carriage was 23 metres and that of the shoulders is 10.5 metres.

It took seven months to complete construction of the taxi track at a cost of Rs 12.50 crore approximately, he said. The full length of the parallel taxi track now available was 3400 metres, he added.

When this taxi track was put in operation, the present practice of using the runway, for take off taxing could be avoided, thereby reducing the runway occupancy considerably.

Yes. Technopolis phase II is on as according to news reports Muthoot have been in discussion with some IT major on that. On Metropolis - they need land for that in Kochi. The group had shown its preference for Kochi as all of us know. If they are able to buy the land they can start it on their own. If they depend on govt to
acquire land they may have to act according what the govt says. This is why groups like Parsvnath, Unitech, Sobha and many more have decided to go on their own. Off late many more builders like Confident, Abad, Desai, Mather etc have taken to the same line - these guys have bought land in anticipation. Among them, Confident has already launched their project at Maradu. Only CIAL was lucky in this respect - land was readily available.
May be Muthoot was not wise to show their cards early. They should have bought land and then applied for govt sanction.
In fact there were groups like JB-Infinity looking for land in Kochi. If not careful they will also have to be contented with what govt can offer.
