Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ) has begun work on a new logistics park in Kalamassery, Kochi, as per an exchange filing. The project covers 70 acres and involves an investment of over ₹600 crore. It was inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The facility will have 1.3 million sq. ft. of integrated logistics infrastructure. Plans include electric vehicle charging stations, digital systems for supply chain operations, and smart logistics features. The park is being developed under the Invest in Kerala programme.
According to exchange filings, the project is expected to create over 1,500 direct and indirect jobs. The company has said it will also open opportunities for small and medium enterprises to participate in the logistics ecosystem.
The Kalamassery park is to support sectors such as e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and retail. By bringing storage and distribution closer to businesses in southern India, the facility aims to reduce transportation costs and improve turnaround times.
As per exchange filings, Ashwani Gupta, Whole-Time Director & CEO of APSEZ, stated, “The Kalamassery Logistics Park marks a significant milestone in APSEZ’s transformation from a ports-focused enterprise into a fully integrated transport and logistics business. As one of our largest efforts in this direction, the Park will play a pivotal role in strengthening our logistics presence in southern India, supporting local manufacturing and regional growth. We remain committed to building world-class infrastructure that advances sustainability, connectivity, and national progress.”
