There was a time when industrialists would put their thumbs down listening to the name Kerala. It had ample scope and highly skilled human resources but still lagged behind in industrial growth. Something was terribly wrong somewhere. And as there was some hidden reason for such a vehement reaction from the business circle, Kerala and its people really had to suffer in silence for long. But with the economic reforms that began to touch down in the country in the early nine ties, the fortunes of Kerala, from the point view of business growth, took off with a remarkable success. Today, with huge potential growth in its cards, Kerala is increasingly being referred to as a destination with a positive attitude. And believably, the State is enjoying all the attention coming its way.
Over the past few years Kerala has been consistently registering good growth in spheres like information technology, housing, tourism, healthcare and education. And moving with the times, Kerala is working hard to establish and maintain an image of being one of the most congenial hubs for newly emerging sectors like IT, ITES, tourism and telecom. It is true that mega projects like International Container Transhipment Terminal and LNG terminal, the work of which has already begun, has immensely enhanced the face value of the State. Taking a definite cue from the situation, many more business houses are considering Kerala as one of their future destinations for large scale operations.
With the fortunes of the State having undergone a total transformation, the housing sector is witnessing an unprecedented growth in Kerala. The in-flow of corporate clientele is growing by the day and as a result, the demand for housing is on the rise not only in commercial hubs like Kochi but also all across the State. Resultantly, over the past few years, as far as the housing sector is concerned, the borderline between the city and its suburb has blurred to a great extent. Today, in Kerala there is no marked difference between a city and its suburb
The trend has already set in and more number of people is moving out of the city to settle down in suburbs. This is happening more in places like Kochi due to poor infrastructure within the city and also because Kochi’s suburbs are poised for good value appreciation in the days to come. With an upbeat mood all around, the builders of Kerala apartments are taking it seriously to step out of the city limits to more open and greener pastures and Kerala’s lush green landscape is all set to roll out a red carpet for them. |
