2.(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR
REGION
Real estate is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Indian economy and
contributes about 5% to India's gross domestic product (GDP).
The country's economic growth is driving the demand for real estate in India.
Demand for commercial and residential space is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2010 and 2014 - Tier 1
metropolitan cities are expected to account for about 40% of this. The top three cities

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS & CONSULTANTS PVT. LTD.


PROJECT : Mixed Land Development Project PRE - FEASIBILTY REPORT
APPLICANT : M/s KONDHWA PROJECTS LLP 12

- Mumbai, the NCR and Bengaluru account for 46% of total office space demand in
India.
Indian real estate sector is the fourth largest sector in terms of foreign direct
investment (FDI) in the country.
Growing requirements of space from sectors such as education and healthcare
provide opportunities in the real estate sector. Growth in the number of tourists has
resulted in a demand for multi branded retail showrooms / serviced apartments /
tourist facilities etc.
With some big national players holding land in Kerala, commercial and residential
property prices are also shooting up. Marin Drive, Kochi, the prime location in the
Kochi City that have emerged as the hottest in terms of both demand and value. A
multitude of residential / commercial / office space projects are already on the
development track in the places.
All such developments have brought wonders to the prospects of real estate in
Kerala and its economy has been growing resulting in making high killings.
Investors are also eyeing the plots near Kochi in Kerala. Located in the proximity to
railway station, beach, and other important places.
The upcoming office spaces / shopping complexes / commercial establishments /
apartments in Kerala will feature an array of amenities including covered exclusive
parking, landscaped garden, health club, high-speed lifts, and swimming pool. Apart
from this, the focus is also concentrated on the quality construction. The new building
constructions are built using the best available raw materials and most of them have
a modular kitchen, granite flooring and decent bathroom accessories.
The arrival of event management companies and booming industrial sectors of
Kerala have played a pivotal role in changing the commercial real estate scenario of
the state, which is on a constant rise.
Investments in Kerala real estate promise high returns in the wake of upcoming
constructions. Kerala, emerging as one of the progressive states thus beckons the
prospective investors from all walks of life.
The mixed use development activities in the building construction sector bring about
gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the
proposed project but will add to gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). A total of
25,565 Persons will be employed in the proposed project after full occupancy during
operation phase. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population.
Applicant will pay taxes / duties to Govt. of Kerala, direct and indirect taxes will be paid

facilities etc. attached to the project which will benefit the local people and change their
living condition.
During last few years, due to sudden increase in real estate activities and in other
infrastructural development activities, the demand of the service industry and other daily
consumption of house hold items has further enhanced and demanded in the area.
Therefore, there is a large requirement of office space, commercial / retails,
entertainment facilities like cinema etc. within the project vicinity to meet the demand
supply chain.

3.(vii) RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION / RECYCLING AND REUSE ENVISAGED IN THE


PROJECT
It is proposed to construct Mixed Use Development of Building Construction project.
Excavation of earthwork for the foundation of structures will be carried out. The top
soil which is fertile will be kept at site for landscaping work. The excavated soil will be
used for back filling work site leveling and remaining for internal road construction
purposes.

It is proposed to construct roof rain water storage tanks with total capacity of
8,680 KL within the site which will be use concurrent use as source of water and also
stored it for meeting the water requirement during non-rainy days, thereby conserve
the fresh water.

Also, it is proposed to construct a sewage treatment plant with total capacity of


1,220 KLD within the site for treatment of domestic sewage of about 1,080 KL/day.

4.(v) EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE


The land for the proposed project is an extension of the Marine Drive behind the
High Court of Kerala. The land was fully developed by the Cochin Port Trust under
Goshree Island Development Authority (GIDA) scheme.
The project site is within the highly populated urbanized area of Kochi Municipal
Corporation. The external services like storm water, road network, water supply,

4.(vi) SOIL CLASSIFICATION


On the basis of morphological features and physico-chemical properties, the soils of
the district are classified as Lateritic, Hydromorphic saline, Brown hydromorphic,
Riverine alluvium and Coastal alluvium. Lateritic soil is the most predominant soil
type of the district. In Muvattupuzha, Kothamangalam, Kunnathunadu and parts of
Aluva taluks lateritic soil is encountered. These soils are well drained, low in organic

PROJECT : Mixed Land Development Project PRE - FEASIBILTY REPORT
APPLICANT : M/s KONDHWA PROJECTS LLP 26

matter and plant nutrients. The major crops grown are coconut, tapioca, rubber,
areacanut, pepper, cashew and spices. Small patches of hydromorphic saline soil
are encountered in the coastal tracts of the district in Kanayannur and Cochin taluk.
The tidal backwaters contribute to the salinity of the soil. Coconut is grown in these
soils. Brown hydromorphic soil is the second most prevalent soil type of the district
and they are encountered in valley bottoms. The soil is enriched in clay content and
plant nutrients. The soil is suited for paddy cultivation. Riverine alluvium is restricted
to the banks of rivers and their tributaries. They are composed of sandy to clayey
loam and are enriched in plant nutrients. It is suited for a large variety of crops like
coconut, paddy arecanut, pepper, vegetables etc. In Cochin taluk and the western
parts of Paravur and Aluva taluk coastal alluvium is encountered and is composed of
sand and clay. Coconut is the major crop in these soils.

The project site prior was part of Vembanadu back waters and reclamation of the
back water was carried out by Cochin Port Trust and after reclamation the converted
land was handed over to Goshree Islands Development Authority. The project
proponent did not carry out any reclamation works.

4.(vii) CLIMATIC DATA


Rainfall and climate
Ernakulam district has wet monsoon type of climate. The district experiences heavy
rainfall during southwest monsoon season followed by northeast monsoon. During
