This will not happen and that is not something that anyone should worry about. Simply because Kochi/Kerala as a state has a complete different demographic that is extremely constrained in terms of infrastructure development capabilities with cost being one of the most prohibitive factors. This is not necessarily bad, this means that the growth will be at smaller pace and more controlled which is a good thing as well. However, when you compare with cities like Bangalore, Bombay the potential for expansion and infrasturcture implementation is far better and will continue to be and that itself will give a strategic advantage. the real focus should be on the fact that Kochi use its resources in a planned and diligent fashion learning from the mistakes of other cities. It is an opportunity and not a competition in my opinion.

I cannot understand why Kochi cannot become like Bangalore or better than Bangalore? What constarinst Kochi has?

Do you guys know the past history of Hyderabad? Now-a-days HYD is considered better than Bangalore or Mumbai in terms of infra and human resource. Around 10 years back, HYD was a dusty capital of AP with a few public sector companies. Within 3-4 years time, a good leader from AP, changed the look and feel of HYD and made it in par with Bangalore and Bombay.

So I do not think Kochi cannot become better than Bangalore and Kochi should become.

Advice to all malayalees, please do not think that we are small or Kerala is small in size.. Singapore is a place that is smaller than Ernakulam district but the kind of business that is happening in SG is more than our India.

Please try our best to make Kochi better and bigger than Bangalore or Bombay. I feel we should not compare just with Indian cities , compare with other big cities in the world.

See this link and read the last paragraph.

well said- i think kochi cn bcom as big as bangalore in 5-8 years time, after all it is 1 of india's fastest growing cities already nd is expected 2 speed up even more. as 4 comparing kochi with international cities i think v shud compare it with our own indian cities first then go international.

They need to get environmental clearance, per this article. Probably this is what is delaying them.

Quote:
P. Ramakrishnan, regional director for Kerala, said the project would need clearance from the ministry of environment since the proposed project would have to meet the costal regulation zone norms.
