Mangalore cityscapes, Projects

(The picture is changed slightly as it is better to use warm sea water as input to desalination plant due to high viscosity & salinity of cold deepsea water. Better to discharge effluents at a depth of more than 400 meters so to match salinity levels hence avoid negative impacts on marine life. But ground based desalination plant itself is not needed if Note-2 Deep-Sea Reverse Osmosis desalination plant is used.)
Previous version of the picture

The above diagram is for an Industrial Park consisting of Semiconductor Manufacturing Plants & Data Centers. It also shows Desalination Plant Effluents Reuse Plants. Earlier there was a news that Mangalore Fisheries College is working on Desalination Plants 1. Hope they will be ready soon with many products derived from desalination plant effluents. The project may be implemented in Padubidri KIADB industrial area (earlier identified for UPCL expansion) or Kotekar-Talapady region depending upon availability of land near seashore. Anyway diagram above is not a waste if the project is not implemented here also, Andhra Pradesh will implement it. Don't worry, only over populated metropolitan city which can implement project is Chennai. Apart from Andhra Pradesh & Southern Karnataka, Kerala & Odisha can also implement the project easily. But Mangaluru is at most advantageous position due to the reasons explained the earlier post on the topic.

As Esyasoft focuses on sustainable development it may also be involved in planning for sustainable data centers & semiconductor manufacturing. Definitely Adani Group may also be interested in researching on sustainable data centers & semiconductor plants.

The cooling system can be implemented in different ways including the one like google data center Hamina, Finland. Google may be directly taking nearby seawater as Finland is having a cooler climate but our proposal is to take from deep sea hence slightly expensive. Need for mixing of hot sea water with cold sea water before releasing back to sea (so that marine fauna & flora are not affected) has to be studied further (but in the diagram above mixing is not shown). Probably, as we are using very cold deepsea water, if we are able to circulate water and exchange heat at a faster rate and water remains just warm after exchange then mixing may not be needed. We also include reuse of used warm saline water by having desalination plant (hope that salinity doesn't change much with depth) and then reuse of desalination effluents. This can be studied with the help of Esyasoft or other consultants. Water from desalination plant is used for heat exchange (as saline water is significantly more corrosive than fresh water) & also other usual uses. Even recirculating hot desalinated water from cooling systems can be tapped out & used for other purposes.

Note that viscosity of cold water is high & warm water is low. By mixing of cold water with hot water we can adjust suitable temperature for reverse osmosis before desalination.

The industrial park with seawater pipeline facility and desalination facility can be created by an authority owning the park. Even undersea data cable can be provided.

The whole Industrial Park can be implemented as a net-zero facility by having floating solar panels or wind mills. Of course Floating Data Centers can be far easily made net-zero & can be much nearer to deep sea.

Note-1:

Apart from data centers & semiconductor plants it would be interesting to study whether cold sea water can be used for cooling quantum computers. China might have done this but how cryogrenic temperatures close to absolute zero are achieved is not clear. Anyway, it is left to our discretion to believe made in China products.

google "quantum computer cooling system + sea water cooling"

A quantum computer's core requirement for near-absolute zero cooling can be met by leveraging a seawater-cooled heat exchange system, as seen in China's floating quantum computing center.

Note-2:

Deep-Sea Reverse Osmosis (DSRO)

Deep-Sea Reverse Osmosis salient features:

• Desalination or reverse osmosis happens due to sea water pressure at deeper depth of above 400 meters
• Huge energy saving as deep sea potential energy is used for reverse osmosis
• Deep sea pressure (i.e., osmotic pressure) itself pumps fresh water after desalination towards ground
• We need not worry that deep sea water is more saline as deep sea pressure itself is used as energy for desalination
• Marine life will not be affected by brine water release as in case of normal desalination plant because a small percentage of water is extracted at deeper depth
• Only issue is maintenance of plant at depth

The company Flocean already working on Deep-Sea Reverse Osmosis projects in Maldives.

How Deep Sea Water is Now Drinkable
One answer to more sustainable desalination? Go 400m underwater

Subsea Desalination | Flocean
Waterise – Fresh water for all – sustainable desalination

It is interesting to know what type of osmosis membrane they are using as cold water at deeper depth has higher viscosity apart from salinity.

Anyway, if this is feasible, then we need not have desalination plant on ground in the above picture and also heat exchange between saline & fresh water will not be necessary.

Will Flocean be interested in manufacturing deep-sea desalination membranes/equipments as a part of ETCA Hub planned in Mangaluru?

By the way cold water can be used to air condition entire industrial park directly if drawn from a depth of more than 400 meters (temperature at a depth of 400 meters will be 5 to 6°C) and submarine desalination plant & thermally insulated submarine waterpipe is capable of holding on to the temperature during transportation.

google "air conditioning water temperature"

Air conditioning uses chilled water at temperatures between 4.4 to 7.2 °C (40 to 45 °F) to cool indoor spaces via an air handler. In contrast, some heat pump systems heat water to between 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F). The temperature depends on the specific system, with chilled water systems using very cold water, while heat pump systems can heat water to higher temperatures.

Is there anyone working on deep seabots (Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)) used for maintenance in deep sea environments?

We can have both DSRO plant & ground based desalination plant if we want to create a kind of redundancy as a part of water grid.

Note-3:

It will be interesting to explore whether waste hot water from data center & semiconductor plants can be used for thermochemical water splitting for green hydrogen production. Thermochemical water splitting requires high input temperatures, generally between 500°C and 2,000°C. Output temperature of circulating water in data centers vary from 13°C to 47°C. Where as in semiconductor plants output temperature of circulating water vary from 20°C to 80°C. So, integrating green hydrogen plants with data centers & semiconductor plants will result in a bit of energy saving if we prefer to use deep-sea reverse osmosis water for green hydrogen production (water is not circulated but reused). The sea water temperature at a depth of 400 meters will be 5-6°C & 800 meters will be 0-4°C in the tropics. Anyway, saving will not be as huge as geothermal plant waste water reuse for green hydrogen production.

MSEZL_ Annual Report_ 2017-18_Final

MSEZ as such wanted to attract chip manufacturers as mentioned in the above document. Earlier Mangalore SEZ had signed an MoU/EoI with a semiconductor manufacturer also (I don't remember name exactly, could be AT&T or Applied Materials). But this couldn't materialize because of no encouragement from the state government in spite of Mangaluru having many advantages. Let us study these advantages.

First of all, most of semiconductor hubs of the world are located near sea & port as illustrated below.

• America - Silicon Valley is located in San Francisco Bay
• China - Major semiconductor hubs like Shanghai, Shenzhen are located near sea within 10 km. Even Beijing is just 100 km away from sea.
• Taiwan - Semiconductor Hub Hsinchu located near sea within 10 km.
• South Korea - Semiconductor Hub Yongin is 50 km away from sea.
• Japan - Semiconductor Hub Kumamoto is just 4 km from sea.
• Vietnam - Semiconductor Hubs Da Nang is 2 km & Ho Chi Minh City is just 20 km from sea.
• Netherlands - Eindhoven is 80 km away from sea. (minor hub)
• Germany - Dresden (Silicon Saxony) is the only semiconductor hub more than 200 km away from sea. (minor hub)
• Israel - Tel Aviv, Haifa & Migdal Haemek (Silicon Wadi) - Tel Aviv & Haifa are port cities. Migdal Haemek is just 20 km away from sea. (minor hubs)

Main requirements for semiconductor industries are land, electric power, water & raw materials. In fact semiconductor industries consume huge quantitiess of water. Apart from these, getting human resources in Tulunadu is not an issue as literacy rate is the highest in Karnataka & the region produces large number of engineering & diploma graduates.

Land

Let us start with land requirements. Gujarat's Dholera Vedanta-Foxconn (now cancelled), largest semiconductor plant proposed so far, required about 200 acres. Finding such land parcels is not at all an issue in Silicon Beach. In many places 200 acres government lands are available without going through any acquisition pains. There are plenty of barren lands.

ಯುಪಿಸಿಎಲ್ ಎರಡನೇ ಹಂತದ 530 ಎಕರೆ ಜಾಗವನ್ನು ಕೆಇಎಡಿಬಿ ವಾಪಾಸ್ಸು ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದೆ

Power

Electric Power is also not an issue in Tulunadu. In fact UPCL wants to export excess power to Kerala - Villagers to hold demonstration against laying 400 kV power line on farmland. Semiconductor industries can exploit this abundance of power. Of course, for carbon credits, getting green power is also not an issue.

Raw / input materials

Silica sand (SiO2) is abundantly available in Tulunadu. In fact Undivided South Canara is the only region in Karnataka where silica sand is easily available. Other alternates like gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC) are not easily available anywhere in India.

Silica sand is illegally mined in Udupi coastal area

It will be interesting to investigate the illegal silica sand miners are serving industries in which region. We should be careful enough to extract silica sand without affecting coast & environment. It has to be used for generating jobs for locals here itself not to supply industries in other places. Please note that irrespective of whether Karnataka will have semiconductors industries here or somewhere else silica sand will be mined here only. So, better let us have semiconductor industries here itself. Only solution against sea erosion due to illegal sand mining is proper monitoring against rules violation of these activities by alert citizen groups.

If there is necessity of importing silica sand from other countries then it is easy due to availability of port. (Just imagine Maharaja Corridor importing sand in aeroplanes).

How Gujarat Is Shaping Up As India's Semiconductor Hub, Building On Its Strength As An Economic Powerhouse


Mangaluru is already a Chemical Hub & in addition, planned Petrochemical Hub will further strengthen it. BASF globally offers a wide range of speciality chemicals and solutions for the semiconductor industry, including those used in cleaning, etching, photolithography, chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), and wet deposition processes. BASF in Mangaluru has enough land in its possession (200 hectares compared to its 23.44 hectares in Dahej) to expand & cater to semiconductor industrial needs of speciality chemicals. Also industries at proposed Plastic Park can economically supply semiconductor plastics.

Other raw materials, required in small quantities, can be imported through NMPT (does Adani have rare earth materials mine in Australia? Monazite deposists are found in coastal Karnataka). Of course copper , aluminium, tin, Nitrogen, Oxygen are also needed. Gold can be smuggled from Dubai <- a joke.

Water

Although the project mentioned in the following quora link is cancelled now it would be helpful to read & know how Gujarat won this project in spite of tough competition from other states.

Why did the Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor manufacturing facility choose Gujarat over Maharashtra and other states? - Quora

Main reason mentioned in the above link is water cost apart from land, power & speciality chemicals.

The Secret to Expanding Semiconductor Manufacturing in the U.S.? Water
Semiconductor manufacturing and big tech's water challenge

Ultrapure water is got through desalination. Mangalore SEZ already has a desalination plant.

There is also chance of using Sea Water Cooling System 2. Sea water cools transfer liquids which in turn cools semiconductor plants. There could be inbetween stage of pure water also between sea water & transfer liquid. Anyone interested to do R&D on this? Sea Water Cooling infrastructure can be provided by SEZ or Industrial Park developers.

Google search of "sea water cooled semiconductor plant" yields the following solution.


Same water drawn from sea for cooling can be used to get fresh water by desalination.

Google search of "seawater cooling plus desalination" yields the following solution.


In India currently semiconductor plant works are going on in Gujarat & Assam. Assam's Morigaon has advantage of Brahmaputra river which gives enough water & has potential to generate plenty of electricity. India also planning to construct a huge dam across Brahmaputra for strategical reasons. But Assam may have disadvantage of not having sea port & also procuring speciality chemicals. Even Gujarat's Dholera is far away from sea, about 200 km. And Sanand is 350 km away from sea. Anyway they may be planning to ship finished semiconductor products through air or land & also be planning to have downstream industries there itself to cater to local needs. But Surat being just 50 km away from Hazira port has a small semiconductor plant. Does that mean India doesn't care for port-based semiconductor industries? May not be. Panvel Semiconductor plant proposed by Maharashtra is just 25 km away from sea & Taloja is 14 km away from sea. Tamilnadu is planning to have one in Chennai itself.

Karnataka was intially planning to develop Green Hydrogen Hub in Tumakuru. But due to water scarcity & port requirement the state government was forced to shift the hub to Mangaluru. Now, the corridor identified for semiconductor manufacturing by the state has a similar water disadvantage. Let us call this Maharaja Corridor and have a brief comparative study with Silicon Beach on water issues. (Maharaja Corridor because it has the luxury of bearing cost of importing everything else except land like water, silica sand, speciality chemicals etc from other places & exporting through far off sea ports at high cost).

The following clippings are from Hosadigantha except the last one which is from Udayavani.

Save Sharavathi Tailrace





Pumping from brooks & couloirs of Yettinahole + Eyes on Sharavathi Reserved Forest







Yettinahole Expansion Not Needed



Tender for Sharavati Tailrace - A Hideout Game



Why do Karntaka government want to destroy everything? Why this pigheadedness when better alternate option for Semiconductor Hub is available? I don't want to guess how much land each politician may be having along Maharaja Corridor as they have mastered the art of walking out clean from honourable courts.

The government may claim that Yettinahole & Sharavathi water is not for semiconductor plants but for domestic purposes and semiconductor plants will use Kaveri water. But Tamil Nadu will object to this as Kaveri quota for the city is meant for drinking water only.

One more water hurdle to Maharaja Corridor - No Mekedatu Dam Without Tamil Nadu’s Consent: Minister Duraimurugan

Vented Dams Effect: Groundwater Level Increased



Comparatively, Tulunadu has potential for many more dams to cater water needs of semiconductor industries. As an option semiconductor manufacturers can be asked to construct dams themselves. Also there is sea water desalination option.

Strategy

We need two teams. Let us call these teams as legal team & technical team. Legal team will campaign to save Yettinahole & Sharavathi Tailrace with full noise. Technical team will work silently for establishment of Semiconductor Hub in Silicon Beach.

I request legal team or Save Yettinahole & Sharavathi Tailrace campaigners who want to file PIL in their petition to show availability of alternate/better option for water guzzling semiconductor plants. They should also ask for the measures taken by the state government to decrease the population of Maharaja Corridor. There is every possibility to prove in the court that Silicon Beach is better option for semiconductor hub than Maharaja Corridor by collecting & providing all relevant documents as evidence.

Whereas techical team will arrange for a meeting with various stakeholders like BASF (speciality chemicals), a few semiconductor companies including Adani, silica sand manufacturers, TiE-Mangalore, KCCI, MSEZ, MRPL (speciality chemicals + plastic), GSI, NITK, MU to explore possibilities.

Silicon Beach Program (SBP) needs to expand its scope to promote Mangaluru to semiconductor manufacturers.

Along with this Mangaluru University has to strengthen its Solid State Physics & Chemistry departments. NITK has to strengthen its Electronics, Material Science, Chemical Engineering & Compuer Science (chip design) departments, we need good mechanical engineers knowing semiconductor machinery & even civil engineers with knowledge of cleanrooms, structural enginneering etc. Tulunadu deserves an NIELIT & an Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER).

A list has to be prepared on Tulunadu-origin semiconductor experts working across country & world and how many of them are ready to return (Back to Ooru) if opportunity is provided here itself. The list has to be made available to potential companies ready to invest in Tulunadu.

We may start with a small semiconductor plant like the one in Surat.

Will Adani be interested to put up a semiconductor plant in Mangaluru & then Adani University catering to semiconductor/data center education and R&D? Adani can use UPCL excess power itself for semiconductor plant. If materialized it will provide a big boost to both passenger & cargo traffic of MIA. I won't be surprised if they now plan for semiconductor plant at Yellur in place of Data Centre or both. This is the one sharp-minded business group which knows how to exploit opportunities.

Potentially, we can have semiconductor plants at Yellur (530 acres KIADB land), Belapu, Karnire (proposed for industries), Kinya-Someshawara etc near sea as cool water will be available within 40 km from shore at 800 meters depth. In case of Karnire, Green Hydrogen plants can use desalinated water after cooling semiconductor plants. Note that desalination plants are well spread out in this way, hence will not have much effect on increasing salinity level of nearby sea.

Note that all districts of Malenadu will also be benefited by this as many Eelectronics industries can come up there instead of Maharaja Corridor backyard.

Why is the central government not declaring water rich regions as potential regions for semiconductor industries? Why is it allowing water starved, over populated, unviable regions to be declared as hubs for semiconductor industries?

The state government may argue doing all these things ourselves is protocol violation. But please don't care for this government which doesn't care for Karavali & Malenadu.

Mangaluru’s power infra gets a boost: U T Khader oversees underground cable trial

Addressing the trial launch, Khader stated, "While life and development can adapt without roads or water to some extent, survival and progress without electricity is simply impossible." ...

This is why Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana project is there.

Khader also pointed out ongoing development in the Deralakatte area, where similar underground cable installations are being carried out. He revealed that the Mangaluru constituency has seen power-related infrastructure work worth Rs 250-260 cr. Moreover, as part of an extensive development plan for the region, a multi-crore bridge will soon be constructed between Bolara and Kotepur.

Is this underground cable is a part of Coastal Disaster Risk Reduction Project (CDRRP) project?

Mangaluru can cut climate damage with ₹172 crore investment: CSTEP report

A new report by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP) has outlined that with an investment of ₹172.97 crore, Mangaluru could avoid ₹11.62 crore in annual damages linked to climate-related risks, including flooding and coastal erosion.

The report, titled Urban Greenprints: A Nature-based Solutions Feasibility Framework for Urban Coastal Regions, calls for the integration of nature-based solutions (NbS) into the urban planning of select wards in Mangaluru.

CSTEP recommends embedding NbS within planning and budgeting processes instead of treating them as standalone initiatives. The study identifies Panambur, Port, Hoige Bazaar, and Bengre as suitable wards for interventions such as rooftop greening, permeable pavements, and water body restoration.

The report also notes that initiatives like the Coastal Bioshield Project at Tannirbhavi and ongoing lake rejuvenation efforts have shown preliminary success but remain limited by top-down governance and lack of community participation.

The document advocates for spatial mapping, inclusive governance, and master planning focused on vulnerable zones like Surathkal and Ullal. It proposes that Mangaluru’s approach could serve as a model for other coastal cities facing climate stress.

To the delay in acquiring land from the church to widen the road in front of the old OPD block and close the road leading to Mangaluru Central Railway Station, Mr. Rao said land cannot be taken by force. Officials will have to convince church administrators to part with the land, the Minister said.

In front of the Church gate on that side there is some land could that be exchanged with the church? I thank for Falnir Road footpath also the church will lose land. Hope we will have a proper busstop in front of the church towards Attavara.

Even if the direct road to the railway station is closed, there should be a predestrian tunnel enabling direct movement between Hampankatta & the railway station. This tunnel should be a part of Hampankatta pedestrain subway later so that people from all sides of Hampankatta can move freely to the railway station. This tunnel is needed even if the railway station comes up with another terminal on the other side (Attavara) of the tracks.

KUIDFC officials informed the council that out of the targeted 1,288.8 km of pipeline to be laid under the Rs 792.4-crore Jalasiri project, only 730.2 km has been completed, leaving 548 km of work pending. The project, which was to be completed by May 2024, is progressing at a snail’s pace.

Officials revealed that approximately 37 km of major pipeline and distribution network work in areas under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) jurisdiction remains incomplete due to pending approvals.

Jalasiri project in Mangaluru has achieved 71% physical progress, says KUIDFC

The report said that of the ₹821.97 crore project, the construction cost has been revised to ₹617.22 crore and ₹204.75 crore has been set aside for operation and maintenance of the infrastructure facilities created under the project for eight years.

Of 19 over head tanks (OHTs) to be built, civil works of 10 OHTs completed and structural works of five OHTs are under progress and four OHTs are yet to be built.

Mangaluru to develop four historic lakes under AMRUT 2.0 project; survey work begins

Survey work for the Jogi Math lake is currently underway. Survey for Bairadi lake has been completed and the project is in the DPR stage. Development of the Baggundi lake—spread across roughly 50 acres—has been proposed, but survey work is yet to be completed due to a pending land dispute. The Mallikarjuna lake project at Kotekar has completed its survey and moved to the DPR stage.

Estimated project costs

Jogi Math lake (Kadri) and surrounding waterbody: ₹2.40 crore
Bairadi lake (Padil): ₹1.35 crore
Baggundi lake (Kulai): ₹14 crore
Mallikarjuna lake (Kotekar): ₹3.70 crore

Why Baggundi lake's estimated cost reduced from ₹20 crore to ₹14 crore? Are they developing Bairadi lake for the second time? Why?

Below is a different cost figures.

Land acquisition for Mangaluru airport expansion to begin soon: MP Brijesh Chowta

Mangaluru: Land acquisition of 45 acres for the expansion of Mangaluru International airport will begin shortly to enhance airport security, said MP Capt. Brijesh Chowta.

Speaking after unveiling the Elevate Brand Mangaluru initiative organized by the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), he said that efforts are underway with the Union Civil Aviation Ministry to secure point-of-call status for the airport. "If demand increases, flights to new destinations can be introduced. However, operating wide body aircraft will take more time," he added.

ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಎರಡನೇ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಅಂತರರಾಷ್ಟೀಯ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣವಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ಮಂಗಳೂರು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಮರ್ಪಕ ಬೆಳಕಿನ ಕೊರತೆ ಇದೆ. ಪ್ರತಿಕೂಲ ಹವಾಮಾನ ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಮಾನಗಳನ್ನು ಇಳಿಸಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗಾತ್ರದ ಬೋಯಿಂಗ್ ವಿಮಾನಗಳು ಮಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಆಗಮಿಸುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಈ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗೆ ಪ್ರಾಧಿಕಾರ ಹಾಗೂ ಕಂಪೆನಿ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು ಎಂದರು. ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಟೇಬಲ್ ಟಾಪ್ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣವಾಗಿರುವ ಕಾರಣದಿಂದ ವಿವಿಧ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ಹಿಂದಿನ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯಂತೆ ಪಡುಬಿದ್ರೆ, ಪಲಿಮಾರು ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಸರಕಾರಿ ಜಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಉಭಯ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗೆ ಆನುಕೂಲವಾಗುವಂತೆ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸುವ ಅಗತ್ಯವಿದೆ. ಇದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಉಭಯ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಸಂಸದರು ಕೇಂದ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಒತ್ತಡ ಹಾಕಬೇಕಿದೆ ಎಂದರು.ಆಹಾರ ವಿಮರ್ಶೆಗಳು

ಮಂಗಳೂರು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ರನ್ವೇ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೆ ಸಮ್ಮತಿ: 32 ಎಕರೆ ಭೂಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಶೀಘ್ರ

ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಅಂತರಾಷ್ಟ್ರೀಯ ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣದ ರನ್ವೇ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ಶೀಘ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ ಆರಂಭವಾಗಲಿದ್ದು, ಇದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ 32 ಎಕರೆ ಜಾಗವನ್ನು ವಿಮಾನ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ಪ್ರಾಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಹಸ್ತಾಂತರಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಎಂದು ಶಾಸಕ ಅಶೋಕ್ ರೈ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ರನ್ವೇ ವಿಸ್ತರಣೆಗೆ ಅದಾನಿ ಕಂಪೆನಿಯು 50 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ನೀಡಲು ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ಸೂಚಿಸಿದ್ದು, ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಡಳಿತ ಜಾಗ ಹಸ್ತಾಂತರಿಸಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಕಾಮಗಾರಿ ಆರಂಭವಾಗಲಿದೆ.

If Adani group is paying for the land then why are these politicians vying with each other to take credit?

ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತ 2.6 ಕಿ.ಮೀ.ಉದ್ದದ ರನ್ ವೇ ಇದೆ. ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗಾತ್ರದ ಬೋಯಿಂಗ್ ವಿಮಾನ ಇಳಿಯಲು ಕಷ್ಟವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ರನ್ ವೇ ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಲು 32ಎಕರೆ ಜಮೀನು ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಿದೆ.

32 acres is for runway width expansion not length. I doubt whether Big sized Boeing can land after this expansion.

Konkan Railway: Beyond Operations, Shaping Connectivity

Most of manufacturing units & training institutes of Konkan Railway seems to be located in Maharashtra & Goa.

Forget the Metro! This Coastal Rail Will Change Mangalore & Udupi Forever

Let us study why the argument in the above video is wrong.

google "metrorail suburban rail difference"

Metro rail serves as a high-capacity urban transit system for travel within a city, with frequent stops and high-frequency service, while suburban rail connects the city center with surrounding suburbs and exurbs, covering longer distances with fewer stops and greater capacity. Key differences include operational area, frequency, infrastructure, and passenger capacity.

google "metro rail and suburban rail cost difference"

Suburban rail is significantly cheaper to build and operate than metro rail because it uses existing Indian Railway infrastructure, while metro rail requires dedicated, exclusive tracks, stations, and a different gauge. This cost difference is reflected in passenger fares, with suburban rail typically being a fraction of the cost for the same or longer distance compared to a metro.

Suburban trains connect city to outer suburbs/exurbs without stopping at every location within a city. And even in suburbs they will not have many stations. So, the main cost difference is number of stations. And then costs of new tracks depend upon whether we will have elevated corridor or tunnel, but this is applicable to both metro & suburban tracks. The cost differrences of trains is immaterial as both suburban & metro trains can be luxury or ordinary trains. What we need is a combination of metro & suburban trains' track with more stations within city limits & less number of stations in suburban/exurban regions.

Existing railtrack is not along densely populated NH-66 belt hence does not provide connectivity to densely populated suburban regions. If we want to have suburban traintrack then there should also be a plan to develop the belt around it so to increase its population. The question is what builders prefer - metrorail or suburban trains. Are the people travelling by cars ready to travel by suburban trains & then catch bus to reach their final destination? These people may prefer metrotrain as it will have more stations & less crowded (if cost is high & luxurious) and then prefer to walk a small healthy distance to home/office early morning & late evening as daily exercise (what about cycling?). As such passenger trains are already running between Mangaluru & Kasargod successfully but without much success along scarcely populated Mangaluru-Udupi track. But, I agree that, in my earlier posts, I had proposed another track along Manipal-Konaje Knowlegde Corridor for future development as the region grows towards the east and Manipal-Konaje road could be a part of West Coast Expressway.

Instead of considering total population we have to see what is the population density in the vicinity of NH-66 if we are building railtrack along NH-66. Mangaluru-Udupi distance is 57 km and more than half of population of this region stays within 1-1.5 km belt of NH-66. If we assume 10 lakh is the population of 57 km x 2-3 km = 114-171 sq km then we have a population density of 6,000-9,000 per sq km. Looking at highrise developments happening along N-66 belt, when metro track is completed, in another 10-20 years, the population of this belt can be safely assumed to double to 12,000-18,000 per sq km. Exact population depends upon the track alignment - as it is assumed to go through the airport - the popualtion density may be slightly less unless airport road develops at a faster rate. And just declaration of the metro track itself may lead to faster investment hence population rise. Already skyscrapers are coming up from Kulai (Yamuna Sky City) upto Surathkal (Rohan Marina). But, the question is whether the central government allow such developments along national highways? Even if they impose 50 meters limits of no development along national highways then also highrises can come up off that limit (if main interstate traffic happens through west coast expressway then there may not be stringent restriction on NH-66). Of course, in developed countries, metrorail exists even in less populated regions and India hopefully will be a developed country by 2047 and hopefully Mangaluru-Udupi retain its rank among top 10 GDP per capita regions.

Metro construction cost is high because it requires more stations. For using existing Mangaluru-Udupi railtrack - first, new stations have to be built so that trains can stop at more locations within city limits. And secondly, existing Mangaluru-Udupi track is busy with traffic hence won't allow suburban/metro traffic. Even for laying new tracks along existing tracks land acquisition is needed. Earlier plan was to construct metro using available space along NH-66 without much need for land acquisition. But whether we can build railtrack along airport road for airport connectivity is a matter of debate. Plan may be to build new track along existing railtrack itself upto the airport and from the airport build new track towards NH-66 & then continue along NH-66. Again, how to build railtrack along NH-66 is a matter of debate - elevated corridor or tunnel both cost high.

A good news is that NMPT is planning to build elevated corridor for undisturbed goods movement to/from outside city limits. Check the post #800 of this page on water transportation. NMPT may not have many problems if elevated train track runs parallely without disturbing their ways. Anyway the track may be running through the airport without disturbing NMPT.

Proposed Netravati-Gurupura water metro is entirely a different route. But we can think how to link both for providing seamless mobility. There was also a proposal to have Ullal-Byndor water transportation. But I think it will not have many stops to consider it as metro.

As far as environment issues, there is not much problem along NH-66 if railtrack is built on dividers or between carriageways & service roads. New bridges anyway have to be built irrespective of laying metro or suburban track.

As far as high availability of service buses between Mangaluru & Udupi is considered, even in metropolitan cities there is no dearth of city buses. Metrorail mainly targets those who travel by cars to avoid crowded uncomfortable buses.

Anyway, the feasibility report itself may indicate which will be the best for the region.

I think if this line is quadrupled then only NMPT can reach its 2047 target of 150 MMTPA with ease. The alternative could be to develop proposed Padubidri-Moodigere railway line passing through Charmady Ghat as triple track line along with doubling this line. Or to have a triple track railway line through Agumbe Ghat.

A proposal in this regard has already received positive response from the Union ministry, and work on the DPR is underway.

Concrete Roads Only Permanent Solution

NHAI Project Director Javed Aziz said that potholes recur despite repeated repairs, and constructing concrete roads is the only permanent solution. Service roads will be built first to divert traffic, followed by concrete road construction. He added that the deadline for completing the service road near Nanthoor has been set for October 15, failing which the tender may be reassigned.

Mangaluru: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is reportedly examining a proposal to construct three new flyovers at Kottara Chowki, Kuloor and Surathkal on the busy Mangaluru–Goa National Highway (NH-66) to decongest the growing traffic in and around the coastal city. ...

... “The existing flyovers at Kottara Chowki, Kulur and Surathkal allow only one-way traffic movement. These are critical points on the highway, and without two-way connectivity, congestion builds up quickly,” Shetty said.

Is new flyover oneway four lane flyover? Or oneway three lane flyover? When will NH-66 stretch be totally eightlane?

Hope it will be developed with quality of English tunnel (the Channel Tunnel, a 50.46-kilometer (31-mile) rail tunnel under the English Channel connecting Folkestone, England, with Coquelles, France) keeping environmental impact minimal.

Below is a month old news.

Centre Keen On Combined Road And Rail Tunnel Projects, Asks Ministries To Work Together: Report

In Karnataka, the focus is on the Maranahally–Addahole section of the Shiradi Ghat, where the highway design features 21 km of tunnels, including one nearly 16 km long.

NHAI has been asked to finalise feasibility for a combined rail-road structure within two months.

What we need is eightlane expressway & quadrupling of existing rail link so that NMPT becomes 150 MMTPA port by 2047.

But finally the government may settle for one of the following due to cost factors.

• Channel Tunnel (UK/France): A 50.5 km (31.4 mi) rail tunnel linking the UK and France, primarily for high-speed passenger trains (Eurostar) and the Eurotunnel Shuttle for road vehicles.
• Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel (Alaska, USA): A single-lane tunnel that operates as a road and rail tunnel, with traffic direction changing at scheduled times.
• Gotthard Base Tunnel (Switzerland): While primarily a 57 km high-speed railway tunnel, the Swiss also utilize "car shuttle" services (like the Lötschberg Base Tunnel's service) in certain alpine regions, allowing vehicles to cross mountains by train.

Bose amplified India Play, tunes into Mangaluru for R&D

A historic milestone unfolded in Mangaluru this September as Mr. John Maier, CEO of Bose Professional, flew in from Boston, USA, to our coastal city — their only operational office space in India — with a vision to set up more R&D centres in Mangaluru and tap into the limitless potential of our thriving ecosystem.

Bose amplifies India Play, tunes into Mangaluru for R&D

Bose has chosen Mangaluru for its first dedicated R&D centre outside its headquarters, a strong signal of the city’s growing importance as a hub for innovation. The new facility will focus on embedded software, apps and cloud technologies while expanding into sales, operations and finance, creating a comprehensive support base for its global business.

Bose Launches New R&D Hub in Mangaluru, Karnataka

Karnataka continues to attract global investments that strengthen its innovation ecosystem. With leading enterprises choosing cities like Mangaluru for strategic growth, the state is fostering new opportunities in technology, R&D, and advanced product development. This momentum reflects Karnataka’s commitment to expanding innovation hubs beyond Bengaluru, enabling job creation, regional development, and India’s rise as a leader in high-value tech solutions.

How many international companies are there in Mangaluru now? German compny BASF could be the first one. Then came First American Corp's Indian subsidiary First Indian Corp and Thomson Reuters & disappeared. There is Amerian company Cardolite Specialities in MSEZ. There is now Danish EGDK. Bose Professinal is the recent one. Apart from this Robosoft, Niveus, Novigo all these are now subsidiaries of international companies TechnoPro, NTT DATA, R Systems respectively. Of course, there a few more smaller international companies.

Presence of global companies strengthens tech ecosystem, adds value: DC

‘Beyond Bengaluru initiative boosts tech expansion in Mangaluru’

Invalid claim. The government is just an spectator! Its intiatives are all namesake initiatives. It is the efforts of the locals which is yielding results. As far as Bose Professional is considered the credit goes to their Singapore employee who returned to Mangaluru & started working from here. Of course credit also goes to people who dared to create workspaces without any encouragement from the government.

East M’luru to drive real estate boom driven by IT and infra needs

Just a speculation or an aspiration without any specific details on the number of IT projects proposed in East Mangaluru region. Why didn't interviewee couldn't even name a single IT project proposed in this region? Other than already known Diya Systems, Citadel Mindspace and U/C Land Trades Synergy having some floors reserved for IT/ITES is there any new proposed dedicated IT Park U/C? This kind of speculation on airport road is going on for last two decades. Probably many builders have purchased huge land parcels in this region with an aspiration like this & hence hype.

Danish IT firm EGDK leaps from 20 to 850 staff in Mangaluru

The acquisition by EG AS Denmark in 2021 marked a turning point, transforming the company from a delivery setup to a strategic partner in EG's product journey. Today, EGDK India supports over 14 business units and drives several core technology initiatives, employing over 850 people across various technologies.

The vision sets targets of creating more than 4,000 start-ups, 200,000 digital jobs, and ₹40,000 crore in tech exports, positioning Mangaluru as a hub for AI, clean energy, ESDM, and automotive electronics. Central to the plan is the creation of a gigawatt-scale AI Data Centre Hub, supported by proposed subsea cable connectivity to strengthen global reach.

"automotive electronics" is a new addition. I was thinking Tuluvas will opt to lead in medical electronics. Anyway hope ESDM (Electronics System Design & Manufacturing) includes semiconductor manufacturing.

Talent Triangle spans 300 km across Karnataka and Kerala

The report stated that, although the ‘Silicon Beach’ initiative primarily focuses on the 300 km coastal stretch, recruiters’ perspectives on sourcing and developing manpower are centred on a ‘Talent Triangle’ with the coast as its base.

3.1 lakh potential talent; only 90,000 experienced

Only 90,000 out of the 2.4 lakh hold a minimum of 1 year of work experience. The remaining 1.5 lakh is a mix of freshers and entry-level talent, with the majority of them relocating to start their careers.

Stating that Karnataka is well set to emerge as the only Indian State with a time-tested Silicon Valley and a flourishing Silicon Beach, he said the State, which is now emerging as the GCC capital of India, is a global talent hub for both tech and non-tech functions alike. After the GCCs, the Silicon Beach now holds the potential to be the next jewel in the crown for Karnataka, he said.

Maharashtra & Tamil Nadu have both Silicon Valley (Pune, Coimbatore) and Silicon Beach (Mumbai, Chennai). Kerala may be having two Silicon Beaches - Trivandrum & Kochi.

Priyank Kharge unveils vision to make City ‘Silicon Beach’; pushes tech park, blue economy

Blue economy and marine tech in focus

Kharge stressed that Mangaluru’s coastal and marine ecosystem makes it an ideal hub for blue economy ventures. The government is encouraging startups to develop solutions for challenges related to marine life, aquaculture, and ocean sustainability, and has promised incentives for companies working on these fronts.

The minister also noted that efforts are underway to promote Kalaburagi as an agri-tech hub, while Mangaluru will be positioned for maritime and blue economy initiatives, as part of a broader cluster-based development model.

LEAP to give M’luru cluster a distinct identity: Kharge

The programme follows a cluster-based approach, with Manipall-Udupi-Mangaluru focusing on marine biotech, nanotechnology, AI, fintech, cybersecurity, and bioengineering, while other districts develop locally relevant accelerators, such as agritech in Kalaburagi. "We exported Rs 3,500 crore IT services with respect to Mangaluru and we need to double this,'' he said.

... While Nitte-GoK Centre of Excellence in Aquamarine Innovation has been established, Yenepoya University will have business incubators.

Kharge also inaugurated WrkWrk, a 2,000-seater workspace currently employing 750 people. ...

wrkwrk Triangle

The wrkwrk-Triangle has a total floor space of 100,000 sq ft for 2000 professionals. Where as KEONICS IT Park with 350,000 sq ft will be employing 3500 professionals should mean that most of this park's space will be for other facilities quoted below.

I think GTC will have IT Startups, boardroom, meeting rooms, auditorium, parking space, bus bays, cafeteria, shopping mall, recreation space. Similar facilities may be coming up in aerocity also. Even some builders like MRG (GolfFinch City), Rohan may also be planning to create such facilities. But these facilities may also be provided in a single building called IT Park. Coworking spaces also provide similar but limited facilities like meeting rooms.

By the way, as mentioned earlier, another 25+25 acres can also be identified for Intitute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) & NLSIU nearby.

Establishing Mangaluru data centre hub is expected to create over 25,000 jobs, says Karnataka Digital Economy Mission

Mangaluru set to become global AI data centre hub with undersea connectivity

Undersea cable routes to enhance global competitiveness

According to the KDEM document, direct landing stations and subsea cable routes will provide low-latency, high-capacity international bandwidth, making the hub globally competitive for hyperscalers, cloud providers, and AI-driven enterprises.

Three cable route options have been proposed:

1. Middle East and Europe route: Oman/UAE → Mangaluru → onward to Chennai/Singapore, providing a direct low-latency path from West Asia and Europe, bypassing congested Mumbai landing stations.
2. South East Asia extension route: Singapore → Colombo → Mangaluru → onward to Middle East/Africa, serving as a Bengaluru+1 backup for hyperscalers and routing traffic to Southeast Asia.
3. Regional loop: Chennai ↔ Kochi ↔ Mangaluru, combining terrestrial and subsea connections for redundancy.

These routes aim to ensure robust and reliable connectivity for international data traffic, catering to global digital enterprises.

Job creation and economic impact

The establishment of the Mangaluru data centre hub is projected to generate over 25,000 direct and indirect jobs across multiple sectors. These include:

• Construction and infrastructure: 8,000 jobs (civil works, electrical, cooling, logistics)
• IT/BT and cloud services: 7,000 jobs (data centre operations, AI infrastructure management, cloud engineering)
• Operations and maintenance: 5,000 jobs (facilities management, power systems, security)
• Renewable energy and utilities: 3,000 jobs (green power projects, grid integration, cooling solutions)
• Ancillary industries: 2,000 jobs (transport, food, services, SMEs supporting the data centre ecosystem)

Giga-scale data centre cluster

The 54-page KDEM document envisions Mangaluru as a giga-scale data centre cluster with planned capacity exceeding 1 GW over the next decade. The initiative’s “Grid-to-Chip” strategy integrates renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro) with advanced cooling, high-density compute, and chip-level optimisation for AI and cloud workloads, positioning Mangaluru as a future-ready data hub.

The blame game begins for Karnataka not getting google AI data center & semiconductor industries - M.B. Patil blames Centre’s incentives to Andhra Pradesh for Google setting up AI data centre in Visakhapatnam 2. It is interesting to note that this data center is a joint venture between google & Adani. Adani had a big plan for having a huge data center at readily available Yellur land (acquired for cancelled UPCL second stage expansion, land was in possession of Adani). But the current state government took away that land ensuring no project of Adani can come up there. And for semiconductor industries also it has so far showcased an unviable location instead of promoting more suitable Silicon Beach. Currently it has failed to come up with any plan for Yellur in particular & Silicon Beach in general except proposed Blueberry Hill IT Park. The state government seems to be ashamed to admit that marine cable link could have been easily made available in Silicon Beach but it has failed to do it so far.

Vision document

It may be mentioned here that the vision document of the KDEM for Mangaluru Cluster, comprising Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, and Kodagu districts, has pointed out that undersea cable connectivity will be a critical enabler to strengthen Mangaluru’s position as a global data center hub.

Direct landing stations and subsea cable routes will provide low-latency, high-capacity international bandwidth, making the hub globally competitive for hyperscalers, cloud providers, and AI-driven enterprises, the document released on September 24, 2025, in Mangaluru said.

google "mangalore data center hub"

Mangalore is emerging as a potential data center hub due to its strategic coastal location, access to undersea cables, abundant renewable energy, and a growing talent pool. The Karnataka government is studying its potential, and plans are underway for a technology park to support this goal, including measures like single-window facilitation and subsidies for data centers under the state's progressive policy. These developments are part of a larger vision to establish Mangalore as a significant tech and innovation corridor, often referred to as the "Silicon Beach of India".

Key factors driving the hub's potential

• Coastal Advantage: Mangalore's strategic coastal location provides direct access to international submarine cable routes, which is a significant advantage for data center connectivity.
• Renewable Energy: The region has access to a surplus of renewable energy, which is crucial for powering data centers and meeting sustainability goals.
• Talent Pool: Mangalore has a young and abundant talent pool with the necessary skills for next-generation data centers, especially those powered by AI and GPUs.
• Government Support: The Karnataka government is actively promoting Mangalore as a tech and data center hub through initiatives like the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM).
• Infrastructure Development: Plans are in place for new IT parks, including a large one under a public-private partnership, and efforts are being made to improve existing infrastructure like roads.

Government initiatives

• Feasibility Study: A consultant has been appointed by KDEM to study the potential of establishing a global data center hub in Mangalore.
• Progressive Policy: The state government has a progressive data center policy that includes incentives like land subsidies and green energy incentives.
• Upcoming Technology Park: A technology park is planned for Mangalore under the Local Economy Accelerator Programme (LEAP) to provide the necessary infrastructure.
• Promotion: Mangalore is being promoted as a potential IT hub at events like the Bengaluru Tech Summit.

Mangaluru to host ‘Kaju Centennial Summit 2025’ marking 100 years of cashew industry

Terming Mangaluru as the birthplace of India’s organised cashew industry, Kalbavi Prakash Rao, Convenor of ‘Kaju Centennial Summit 2025’, said the first organised cashew factory was established in Mangaluru in 1925 by the British company Peirce Leslie India Ltd.

Mangaluru to host Cashew Centenary Summit 2025 from Nov 14-16

From just five factories in the 1940s, the industry has now grown to over 250 units in and around Mangaluru. Karnataka’s cashew processing capacity has expanded from 70,000 MT in the 1970s–80s to over 500,000 MT today, accounting for nearly 25% of India’s total processing volume. The New Mangalore Port Authority (NMPA) has played a vital role in this growth, facilitating imports that supply cashews to Goa, Maharashtra, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

Mangaluru: Ganjimath Plastic Park project gains momentum

Plots earmarked for various industrial units have been developed, while separate hostel facilities for male and female trainees and a cafeteria have been completed. The final phase of construction work is currently underway.

The construction of the Central Institute for Petrochemicals Engineering and Technology (CIPET) building, an integral part of the Plastic Park, is expected to be completed within the next four months. Spread across 16 acres, CIPET will play a vital role in plastic-related research and skill development. Separate hostel buildings for men and women, along with a cafeteria, have already been completed. The warehouse construction is progressing rapidly and is expected to be finished by December.

Approximately 50 plots of various sizes have been reserved for plastic manufacturing units. Of the 104 acres designated for the park, 60 acres will remain available for industrial use after allocating space for roads and other essential infrastructure. Plots have been prepared in sizes of 1 acre, 50 cents, and 25 cents.

Guest houses, hostels, and cafeteria construction have been completed. The remaining work includes the CIPET building, warehouse, and water tank, which are nearing completion. Apart from a few minor disputes, the project area is now largely free of litigation, and plot allocation will begin after receiving directions from the central office.

Karnataka’s Big Push Beyond Bengaluru: Can Mysuru, Mangaluru or Hubballi Become the Next Startup Magnet?

The Critics

Others, however, urged caution. Several voices argued that cities like Mysuru and Mangaluru should be protected from over-urbanisation. They feared the government might replicate Bengaluru’s challenges instead of solving them.

A strongly worded comment read:

“Don’t ever think about touching Mysore or Mangalore.”

This sentiment revealed a deep-rooted fear that rapid tech expansion could disrupt the cultural and environmental charm of these cities.

The government has already touched & spoiled Mangaluru with chemical industries when people here want environmentally more safer & harmless IT jobs. Check also discussions in the thread - COVID-19 Issues & Best Practices - Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis? - Post-1 & Whether technology can help to overcome the crisis? - Post-2.

The Realists

...

One major concern is whether Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities have the infrastructure needed to support rapid scaling. While they offer cleaner, calmer environments, not all have Bengaluru’s depth of office spaces, transport systems, talent networks or round-the-clock services — all crucial for tech-led growth.

No issue with office spaces in Mangaluru. Many buildings with readily available office spaces are lying vacant and more are under construction (I have already posted pictures of a few vacant buildings). More than one million sqft office spaces are under construction now like Mukund Ashoka Business Center (IT Park), Land Trades Synergy, Karuna Lightousehill IT Park, Bharath Central Semi-IT Park, Westline Salubrity Semi-IT Park, 3 floors of NorthernSky Old Fields etc. Proposed ones like KEONICS IT Park, Nidhiland Business Park, MRG Goldfinch IT Park, Westline Cubix IT Park, Rohan commercial buildings etc may generate more than anoter two-three million sqft of office spaces.

Talent mobility presents another challenge. Convincing employees to uproot from a city that offers countless opportunities, deep networks and lifestyle advantages will not be easy — even with relocation reimbursements.

More than 95% of Mangaluru-origin IT professionals are ready for #BackToOoru journey as per a recent survey - Software professionals concerned about salary, career growth in coastal Karnataka, not absence of nightlife: Survey. The quality of life in Mangaluru is far better than one in metrocities. Now a days all networks have gone digital.

Then comes the question of sustainable development. Cities like Mysuru and Mangaluru have rich cultural identities and slower, more mindful ways of life. Residents worry that a sudden surge in commercial expansion and population influx could alter their character in irreversible ways. Policymakers will need to design growth that respects heritage and local sentiment.

Tuluvas have already mastered the art of preseving old culture while being modern.

R Systems to make Mangaluru hub for key verticals, horizontals

In an interaction with businessline in Mangaluru, Nitesh Bansal, Chief Executive Officer of R Systems, said: “When we look at the growth of the Agent AI as a horizontal, we see Mangaluru as being one of our key hubs and locations for that. When we look at verticals relating to BFSI and travel industries, we again see Mangaluru as being a key hub for that.”

IT-BT Department to develop Mangaluru region as a start-up cluster: Priyank Kharge

Minister for Information Technology and Biotechnology Priyank Kharge on Wednesday, September 24, said the department will develop the Mangaluru-Udupi-Manipal cluster as a start up cluster with focus on aqua marine biotechnology and nano global capability centres (GCC).

... Of the 400 applications received to commence start-ups in the State, 89 were from Mangaluru region, including 30 led by women entrepreneurs. “We are opening a start-up foundry here,” he said.

Inaugurated the GoK-NITTE Centre of Excellence in Aquamarine Innovation in Mangaluru, a first-of-its-kind initiative in India with a budget outlay of ₹7.42 crore. This Centre will address critical challenges in aquaculture and marine resource management and also serve as a hub for advanced research, entrepreneurship and innovation in marine biotechnology, with direct support for startups through incubation, mentoring and funding.

It builds on our Biotechnology and Startup Policies, designed to strengthen industry–academia linkages and nurture young enterprises from ideation to scale. The Centre has already forged partnerships with three major industry leaders and academic partners like ICAR–CIBA, ICAR–CMFRI and ICAR–CIFE to drive technology transfer and market linkages.

The MoU aims to provide high-quality education, practical training, and joint research opportunities for students and faculty. Mangalore University is the only state university in Karnataka offering an M.Sc. in Medical Physics, a programme launched in 2018. Students require access to advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities to complete practical coursework and internships.

Malabar Cancer Centre, based in Thalassery, is equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment technologies, including CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, Linear Accelerators, and Brachytherapy systems. The centre is accredited by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) to conduct one-year internship training for medical physics students.

When will Mangalore University have these facilities in Mangaluru itself? Will proposed Kidwai Cancer Satellite Centre have these facilities? If this happens then everything will be under Karnataka government control.

A designated authority, similar to the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB), should acquire both government and private land specifically for tourism purposes,” Khader stated.

Baggundi Lake set for Rs 20 crore revival under AMRUT scheme

First phase targets protection and boundary marking

Government records list the original lake area at 13 acres, but plans are underway to include an additional 72 acres previously allocated to JESCO, an industrial project. This broader land base opens the door for a more ambitious redevelopment vision.

Tourism and recreation potential

Local residents are now calling for a sustainable tourism model to accompany the ecological revival. Suggestions include a walking path, boating facilities, a public park, and a cycling track around the lake.

“The area around Baggundi Lake is bigger than both Kadri Park and Pilikula Nisargadhama. It has tremendous potential as a nature and leisure spot,” said a resident from the Kulai locality.

Out of 950 acres JESCO land 159.03 acres goes to Indian Coast Guard Academy & a few more might have been already uised for other purposes. How much land is left out now? Can a 10 acres film city come up here itself? Or can the remaining land, after developing Baggundi Lake Park, be used for Data Center & Semiconductor Park?

Mangaluru’s new riverfront air promenade set to open by December-end

The plan aims to transform the stretch from the Netravathi Bridge to Bolara—around 2.1 km of riverbank—into a vibrant recreational zone. The eco-friendly project includes parks, cycling tracks, walking paths, food kiosks, landscaped gardens and nature-friendly attractions to draw both residents and tourists.

So far, work on about 400 metres of the riverfront has been completed in park-like style. Another 200 metres is nearing completion, after which remaining areas will be taken up. Officials said the waterfront is being developed to support activities like air promenades and leisure hangouts.

What has been completed

Existing trees have been preserved while new saplings are being planted. A walking path, bird-watching zone, and a treehouse are already in place. A lighthouse-inspired water tank has been built.

India Maritime Sector Growth: Sonowal

Sonowal said New Mangalore Port Authority through meticulous planning, modern infrastructure creation, advanced mechanization and digitization of operation, coupled with green initiative towards sustainable port operation has created a legacy of excellence.

"Over the past 50 years, New Mangalore Port Authority, our only major port in the vibrant and highly developed state of Karnataka, has been one of the best-performing ports of our nation.

"Over the years, the port has grown from the level of handling just a few 1000 tons of cargo to 46.01 million tonnes cargo handling during the last financial year 2024-25," he said.

The minister informed that the port is in the process of constructing one more deep-drop general cargo berth, which is expected to commence shortly.

He said New Mangalore Port is the second-largest LPG handling port in the country and noted that cruise tourism is another upcoming sector where this port can do wonders. Cruise vessels have been regularly calling at New Mangalore Port since 2002.

During the occasion, dignitaries will inaugurate the new building of the Mercantile Marine Department’s Mangaluru office, Srinivasa Port Hospital, four-lane concrete road from Kuri Katta Gate to Baikampady Tank Bund Road, KK Gate Truck Terminal with a parking facility for 300 trucks, Santoshimathaa Edible Oil Refinery, Aegis Vopak Oil/Gas Terminal, under-vehicle scanner for enhanced security at gates, SSPP Petro Products’ bitumen and edible oil storage, and Aegis Vopak multi-purpose storage termina. They will also lay foundation stones for many projects, including the GAIL Booster Pump for direct transfer of Paraxylene, a shelter over Rail Lines 1 and 2 at the Marshalling Yard, and an oil and gas facility at Plot No. 5. Further, they will rename KK Gate after Rani Abbakka.

New Mangalore Port to Unveil Major Infrastructure and CSR Initiatives at Golden Jubilee Celebration

A series of key projects will be inaugurated during the event. Among them are the Mercantile Marine Department’s new office (₹9.51 crore), the modernized Srinivasa Port Hospital (₹107 crore), a strengthened internal four-lane road network (₹34 crore), and a truck terminal capable of accommodating more than 300 heavy vehicles (₹15 crore). The port’s main entrance, KK Gate, will be officially renamed in honour of coastal warrior queen Rani Abbakka.

Industry partnerships also feature prominently. Aegis Vopak’s new oil and gas terminal (₹500 crore), edible oil and bitumen storage terminals established by private companies (₹100 crore each), and new LPG rail evacuation and booster pump systems (₹70 crore and ₹20 crore) reflect NMPA’s expanding logistical footprint. Foundation work for roofing of rail cargo yards and additional storage infrastructure is also planned.
