Caspian TechParks India Pvt Ltd (a venture of Group Mukkadan) has developed a signature non‑SEZ campus within Infopark Phase II at Kakkanad, Kochi, spread over 2.63 acres with approximately 450,000 sq ft across three towers. The first tower (“INSPIRE”) is ~130,000 sq ft (G+10), operational since early 2022. The campus embraces sustainability and modern design, with strong backing from the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) and CRISIL rating support (BBB‑/Stable as of May 2024).

Infopark Phase II itself is a 160‑acre expansion of the original Infopark (2004), envisioned to offer up to 8 million sq ft in built‑up space and employ over 100,000 IT professionals when complete.

Pros

  1. Green & Grade‑A Class Infrastructure – Designed with sustainability in mind and using modern ergonomic layouts.
  2. Accelerated Delivery – Tower superstructure for a 100,000 sq ft building was erected in just 80 days using precast tech, aiming for full handover by October 2025.
  3. Anchor Tenants – Air India Tech Centre (over 1,200 staff) ensures steady occupancy and credibility.
  4. Strategic Location – Within Phase II’s growth zone, supported by KSIDC and robust Infopark infrastructure.

Cons

  1. Non‑SEZ Designation – May impact tax and compliance advantages available within SEZ zones.
  2. Transportation Gaps – Lacks direct metro; current access depends on feeder buses or boats—metro extension is planned, but timelines remain unconfirmed.
  3. Project Concentration Risk – Phase II still under development; risk remains tied to timely completion and tenant uptake.

In Summary

Caspian TechParks at Infopark Phase II offers a smart, efficient, and modern workspace solution in Kochi’s fast-developing IT corridor. Its sustainability credentials, fast-track precast construction, and quality infrastructure make it attractive for tech and ITES firms. While its non‑SEZ status and reliance on developing infrastructure pose some considerations, upcoming metro expansions and strong initial tenancy position it as a compelling Grade‑A campus. Businesses should evaluate location benefits, likely completion phases, and transport updates when choosing this park.
