Electronics City, Kochi
A major electronics group named Amer Asia Ventures Corporation headed by Michael Chan from Taiwan came to Kerala on 17th December for studying the feasibility of setting up a Multi billion venture “Electronics City” in Kochi. The Group has asked for 2000 acres of land within 25 to 35 km diameter of the International Airport.
The Taiwan group of 7 headed by M. Chang held primary talks with the Industrial Secretary T. Balakrishnan, IT Secretary Dr. Ajaykumar, Ernakulam District Collector Mr. A.P.M Mohammed Hanish, along with KSEB, Pollution Control Board and Inforpark Officials.
The estimated cost of the project is Rs.3000 crores.
The group is planning to build the LARGEST ELECTRONICS CI
TY IN INDIA having hardware industries, including semi-conductor and allied industries. The group visited various places in Kochi and has shown keen interest in some of the places, but the officials have not yet disclosed about the locations.
The team will hold discussions with the government officials in Thiruvananthapuram and New Delhi later. The group was so ardent that they needed the endeavor to come up in Kochi itself. With the Taiwan group showing such a curiosity, the key stumbling block for the Government is to arrange such a mammoth area. But the positive approach by the Thai group is boosting factor for the Government.
Once the discussion are held and given a nod to go ahead, the Taiwan group Amer Asia is ready to start the work. For Kerala it will be another mega project through Kochi, like the TECOM’s Smart City, which is going to change the face of IT industry in Kerala.
NOTE: At present the largest “Electronics City” is in th
e IT capital of India – BENGALOORU (Bangalore) in an area of around 332 acres. This grandiose area is thus pertinently called as the Outsourcing capital of the world. Now Kochi is expected to join the league of the IT city of Bengalooru!!
All is seen to go well for Kochi and Kerala!!
In Him!!

cochin is a very small and waste city .we can't call it a city .and the image of shown electronic city is bangalore (hebbel flyover bridge )and there is two chick kings in calicut and also first mall in kerala is not bay pride mall (it is not a mall)the first mall in kerala is focus mall at calicut.dont make your small underdeveloped city big.
Achal Calicut is a very boring place compared to Cochin which like Bangalore is very happening. Bashing Cochin wont make Calicut big only smaller. Kerala as a whole is developed and Cochin is its commercial capital and pays 75% of its revenue.
Cochin is still growing and attracting alot of interest overseas unlike Calicut which is dependant heavily on NRK remittances.
Do your homework before you bash a city
thanks for the maps..
COCHIN AND CALICUT BOTH ARE DEVELOPING CITIES. WE ALL MALAYALEES SHOULD NOT QUARREL FOR THESE CITIES
For enjoying purpose Cochin is most popular city and there any can explore holidays so if you want check Flights for Cochin To Amritsar Flights it is best for you
