In Cochin, the development around Infopark,/Smartcity is definitely driven by IT Industries. But, its interesting to note that towering projects are coming up all around the city, right from Marine drive in West to Always in North, Maradu/Thrippunithara in South and South East and off course Kakkanad in East.
The upcoming International Container Terminal, International Cruise Landing Facility, Exploding Business aided by export of commodities, is driving growth. The Airport and the Seaport are prime drivers. The Container Terminal at Vallarpadam is supposed to generate Billion Dollar Business with Cochin becoming Hub of international Shipping Activity. At the moment, all large ships (Mother Ships) are being diverted to Colombo, due to lack of berthing facility at Cochin.
