Kochi, the largest and most populous city in Kerala, plays a crucial role as a major port on the western coast of India. Its strategic location is bolstered by excellent connectivity, served by major highways, and proximity to the Cochin International Airport. The city’s emergence as a significant consumption hub has propelled the rise of online platforms, making it an ideal destination for warehousing solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of the FMCG and e-commerce sectors.

TVS ILP’s new Kochi Park is designed with a focus on operational efficiency and sustainability. The facility features ample parking areas suitable for 24/7 operations, a high clear height of 12 meters, LED lighting, and facilities equipped with solar panel installations. The FM2 flooring offers a load-carrying capacity of 5MT/sq. m (UDL), with roofs designed to maximize natural daylight. Additionally, the park adheres to National Building Code of India (NBC) and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) standards and is equipped with a fire sprinkler system, fire storage tanks, a comprehensive storm water drain system, and a centralized security building with CCTV surveillance to ensure a secure environment that aligns with global standards.

Aditi Kumar, Executive Director, TVS ILP, said, “Our expansion into Kerala represents a pivotal milestone in our journey to broaden our national footprint. By being the first Pan-India developer to establish a presence in this vibrant market, we want to capitalize on the first-mover advantage in Tier-2 markets. This expansion allows us to support the local economy through job creation and aligns with Kerala’s forthcoming industrial policies, which are set to boost the business environment and attract further investments. We are excited to contribute to Kerala’s evolution into a leading logistics hub in India.”
