Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurated the foundation stone for the Adani Group's logistics park in Kalamassery on Saturday, marking a significant advancement in the state's industrial sector.

This ambitious development is unfolding across 70 acres with an initial investment exceeding Rs 600 crore, and falls under the scope of the state's Invest Kerala Global Summit.

The Chief Minister emphasized the strategic importance of the project, stating it will strongly position Kerala as a favorable industry and investment hub both nationally and globally.
