Construction of the new Kerala Trade Centre being set up by the KCCI
at an investment of Rs 100 crore will be completed this year, chairman
designate of the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) K N
Marzook said.
"This building will bring all agencies, stakeholders and businessmen under a single roof. All transactions which a foreign businessman needs can be carried out on the premises with minimum hassles," Marzook said.
The 14-floor building is being set up on an area of 1.25 lakh sq ft on Marine Drive in Kochi on the lines of World Trade Centres around the world. The centre will comprise an industrial research and development centre, trade information and resource centre, business and exhibition centres, shopping arcades, an international convention centre and a quality testing laboratory. The centre will provide advanced communication facilities to businessmen who are keen to invest in Kerala. Visitors to the centre can have a taste of the offerings at a number of multi-cuisine food courts.
Three new check-post help centres run by KCCI will be opened at Amaravila near Thiruvananthapuram, Vazhikkadavu in Nilambur and Muthanga in Wayanad next month, said Marzook. He said that KCCI was talking to the government to set up help centres at more interstate border check-posts in the state to speed up clearance of commercial goods and detained consignments through production of valid documents.
Under an MoU which KCCI has signed with DP World of Dubai, goods from Dubai were now routed through the Walayar check-post. More dealers are now availing the services of KCCI's Walayar help centre. Besides DP World, companies like ITC and Fedex are also utilizing KCCI's help centre services.
