CSEZ supplies Samosa to Cosmos

Quote:
If KK Pillai has his way, you may soon be able to savour the same brand of samosas that made a trip to outer space. Pillai is the managing director of Nikasu Frozen Foods International which made the snack that astronaut Sunita Williams carried with her to the International Space Station.

Based in the Cochin Special Economic Zone, Nikasu has managed to become the largest supplier of spring rolls and samosas to the US where it retails under the popular Laxmi brand (belonging to distributor House of Spices). In the UK, its products are sold as ‘Taj’ by Solanki Foods and are available at the supermarket chain Tesco.

Kochi gives 50% of Sales Tax in Kerala ,

“If the revenue collection of Ernakulam is improved it will benefit the entire state since 50 percent of the Sales Tax comes from the district, Chief Minister V.S.Achuthanandan has said”.

what it get return from State govt in the form of Infrastructure - “Peanuts” , they are busy widening roads all over kerala , but not in Kochi . Last time when I was at Kochi , it took me cool half hour just to reach from South to Panapilly Nagar . Open the eyes govt babus, and give Kochi the share it deserve, rather than keep on milking it all times.

You are right. State govt must give first priority to Kochi. But road widening
does not progress in Kochi not just because of neglect. Eg. North ROB could
have been widened to four lane long back but the encroachers on wither side
bribed ministers and sabotaged the plan.

There is also problem of land acquisition. eg, in Trivandrum a lot of the
land is with govt and no problem in acquiring. In Kochi most of it is private
land.

In one way, it is a problem of choking with success. As a test case govt
should try to widen Kaloor-Kacheripady - just 1.0 km stretch. You will
see how many vested interests will come into play.

IMO, only way out is to build new roads like Pulleppady-Thammanam,
Vaduthala-Mamangalam, Vallarapadam-Kalamassery. Trade and business
will shift to these locations. This will wean away lot of business from the
existing spots like Kacheripady. This will teach the trader lobby at Kacheripady a lesson and they will concede to widening.

Already its happening, new developments at Edappally and Kakkanad
has no match at Ernakulam. This is due to wide roads and other good
infrastructure available.

German sports carmaker Porsche plans to open outlet in Kochi.

Keralities need not go to Bangalore or Chennai , they can get big branded cars in Kochi ,
2 days back BMW announced their plan to open the outlet.
These all things mark the cosmopolitan culture of city.

You cant have multiplex in all Malls, given the fact that Grand Mall has neighbors such as Lulu and Mall O. What needs to be seen is the Kind of brands it brings. It should target medium segment rather than going for high end costly brands , so that people have a choice when they come to Edapally . Since all these 3 Malls are relatively close to each other . The positioning is what needs to be seen. The target segment should be upper / medium middle class, ideally.

Had it been only Lulu and Mall O , people may find it difficult as its any ones guess what sort of brand Lulu may bring. Grand Mall should be more reachable at least to mid segment. Already Kochi is going to have enough Multiplex , Like Inox, Cinemax, Fame , Satyam , Pyramid, May be they can start thinking of Multiplex in Tripunithura / Kakkanad / Nedumbassery/ area.

This is what I meant. They must position for medium brands.

Elbit Medical Imaging Ltd. (EMITF) and Bangalore based Salarpuria Group have joined hands to develop across six to seven million sq ft of space in Kochi. Both the companies will invest around Rs 1,000 crore over a period of three years.

The companies will float a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to fund capital. However, the senior officials of Salarpuria Group decline to give any further details but confirmed the tie–up.

Elbit Medical made a foray into the Indian realty with a residential project in Pune and a chain of hospitals in Kolkata.

The $300 million Israel based property management firm, in June this year, announced to develop a $180 million mega residential project in Bangalore in collaboration with an Indian developer.

The construction for the recent Rs 1000 crore project would start within a year. The project is scheduled to be over by the next three to five years and possesses the potential to generate sales worth $3 billion.

This was posted earlier. Actually we are waiting for the launch. You seem to
have been away from this forum for a while.

I had seen the J&I architect site, the SSP Cochin follows a convention
that nothing below 15 floors need to be posted unless it has some
architectural speciality. So I skipped Konthuruthy apartments. Also I suspect
it has been posted some time back.

Meanwhile I saw a post in a forum called skyscrapercity contending the
claim that Tejomaya has TCS, Arbitron and L&T Infotech as its client.
The contender has nothing special to say, though I have also independently
checked with L&T that is is true.

The Cochin pages in skyscrapercity forum seems to be edited and
manipulated by one of the moderators, so it is not trustworthy.
Already there is a big fight there due to this, that one moderator
hopes that he can make Cochin look like a dull city just by manipulating
Cochin pages in some obscure forum

Request

Hi All

It is a humble request from a Kerala lover, not to differentiate between Trivandrum, Kochi, calicut etc. Please conside it as an overall development of Kerala and try to promote all places in Kerala equally.

It will be good if TVM, Kochi and calicut became like Bangalore

Good posting. I was checking whether this had been posted. An investor of
the status of Merrill Lynch picking Kochi with Chennai & Bangalore in south
for investment is big.
