Traditionally agriculture based,
Palakkad is all set to be the industrial capital of the State. The
departments of industries and Commerce has identified the Kanjikode
belt, connecting Palakkad and Coimbatore, as an area for industrial
development. The excellent infrastructure facilities like N.H. 47, trunk
railway line, nearby airport at Cochin., Calicut and Coimbatore, cheap
availability of land and labour, cheap power and water etc. are the main
attractions to industrialists.
The industries department acquired
about 130 acres in Pudussery West village in the 60’s for an
industrial development area. It is here that the I.T.I, Tata phone,
Hendez Electronics, Carborandum, 66 K.V. substation etc. are situated.
Later, the department accured about 500 odd acres of land in Pudussery
Central village for a new I.D.A. About 120 acres were allotted to KSEB
for a 220 KV sub station and wind farm and the remaining land was
allotted to prospective industrialists like KAMCO, MARICO Industries,
Rabfila International, Prima Industries, Patodia Syntax and a number of
S.S.I units.
