In a critical move to streamline commuter mobility along Thiruvananthapuram’s rapidly growing IT and commercial corridor, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is evaluating Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for two proposed elevated flyovers along the Kazhakkoottam–Karode bypass section of National Highway 66.

Commercial & Economic Implications for Businesses

The Kazhakkoottam–Enchakkal stretch of NH 66 has transformed into the primary commercial artery of Thiruvananthapuram, connecting Technopark, premier healthcare complexes, major shopping destinations, and the highway leading to the Vizhinjam International Seaport.

Resolving traffic bottlenecks at these junctions generates notable business advantages:

  1. Efficiency Gains for Technopark Enterprises:

Over 70,000 technology professionals commute daily to Technopark Phases I, II, and III. Eliminating congestion near Phase III dramatically reduces travel times, improving employee satisfaction and daily logistics.

  1. Appreciation of Commercial Real Estate:

Smooth elevated connectivity enhances commercial property valuations along service roads, encouraging the establishment of retail flagship stores, hotels, financial branches, and corporate regional headquarters.

  1. Healthcare & Emergency Transit:

Lords Hospital Junction is a vital intersection connecting multispeciality hospitals, diagnostics centers, and residential corridors. Flyover infrastructure ensures unobstructed passage for emergency transit.

  1. Port Cargo Linkage:

Heavy logistics freight operating between the industrial parks of northern Kerala and the container terminal at Vizhinjam can bypass suburban commuter intersections seamlessly.


Establishing Commercial & Logistics Ventures Along NH 66

Entrepreneurs and retail franchises expanding along the upgraded NH 66 corridor must complete essential statutory registrations:

  • Local Body Trade Licenses: Procuring business operating licenses from the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation.
  • Kerala Shops & Commercial Establishment Registration: Registering commercial premises within 30 days of initiating retail operations.
  • Signage & Access Permissions: Obtaining formal right-of-way (RoW) and commercial signage permits from NHAI and the municipal body.
  • FSSAI Food Safety Licensing: Obligatory for restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and cloud kitchens serving the highway tech corridor.
