Pinarayi Vijayan Inaugurates South India’s Tallest IT Towers In Kochi, Launched By Lulu Group

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today (June 28, 2025) officially inaugurated the Lulu Group’s IT Twin Tower at SmartCity, Kakkanad, a milestone that could redefine Kochi’s position on India’s technology map.

Constructed with an investment exceeding ₹1,500 crore, the Twin Towers now stand as South India’s tallest IT infrastructure, each rising to 152 metres with 30 floors. Spread across 12.74 acres, the state-of-the-art campus boasts a staggering 3.5 million square feet of built-up area, of which 2.5 million is dedicated to IT firms. The facility has the capacity to accommodate over 30,000 tech professionals, making it Kerala’s largest IT office space to date.


The Lulu Twin Towers are designed with a forward-thinking, tech-first approach. Among its standout features is a fully automated robotic parking system capable of handling 3,200 vehicles, supplemented by 1,300 traditional parking spaces.

The buildings are equipped with 67 high-speed lifts, 12 escalators, and a rooftop helipad. The complex proudly carries a pre-certified LEED Platinum rating, underlining its green and sustainable design.

Inside, amenities reflect a modern, employee-centric workspace: a 2,500-seat food court, a 600-capacity conference hall, EV charging stations, data centres, a fitness centre, crèche, convenience stores, open seating zones, and systems for rainwater harvesting and waste management.


According to Lulu IT Parks CEO Abhilash Valiyavalappil, this development is the result of the belief that Kochi, traditionally viewed as a tier-2 city, is ready to compete with the country’s top tech destinations.

The Lulu Group already employs over 13,800 professionals across its two Cyber Towers in Infopark. With the new Twin Towers, the company aims to create over 50,000 jobs within the next three years.


Kochi’s strategic advantages — including competitive rental costs (reportedly one-third of metro rates), solid public transport infrastructure (metro and water metro), and a lower cost of living- make it an attractive destination for companies seeking to optimise operational costs without compromising on talent or connectivity.

While Bengaluru and Hyderabad remain dominant players in India’s IT sector, the unveiling of the Lulu Twin Towers marks a significant step in reshaping that narrative.

Present at the inauguration alongside Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan were Ministers Rajeev Chandrasekhar,  P Rajeev, V D Satheesan, P K Kunhalikutty, Ernakulam MP Hibi Eden, and several other dignitaries, industry leaders, and government officials.

The event also saw the presence of key Lulu Group India executives, including the Chairman and Managing Director of Lulu Group, MA Yusuff Ali, Director & CEO Nishad MA, Director Fahad Ashraf, COO Rejith Radhakrishnan, Media Head N.B. Swaraj, and CFO of Lulu IT Parks Murty Bugata.
