Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala, is the economic,
commercial and industrial hub of Kerala. The capital, has a great market
potential and is developed according to the needs of present time in the recent
years.
Initially, the city was known for its trade market for
spices, sandalwood and ivory. The British loosely controlled the market but the
major portions of the revenue goes to the rulers.
Post-Independence, the development increased its pace and is
still accelerating. The major industries include tourism, IT & ITES, coffee
plantation, rubber production, tea production, etc. There are many
manufacturing industries and assembling units, but less number of factories as
compared to some other districts of Kerala and neighboring states.
Since the natural environment of the city is favorable for the agriculture, people in general and companies are indulged in producing the raw materials here. The soil is good and can produce up to 2-3 crops a year.
It is called evergreen city of India, due to its natural beauty location and greenery. It has ideal temperature and ambience for agriculture and plantation.

The place is famous tourist destination, especially Padmanabhaswami
Temple (richest temple in the world), Kovalam Beach, Varkala Beach, Backwaters,
etc. These tourist destinations are visited by tourists round the year, and
generate good revenue for the tourist industry. The positive attitude of the
government and proper advertisement, are the key factors to further grow this
sector. The place is sometimes also called place for medical tourism, for the
presence of Cancer Hospitals and research centers.
Coffee, Tea and Rubber plantation and production is one of
the major source of revenue. As the environmental condition is favorable round
the year and water for plantation is available is abundance, the plantations
can reap the product 2-3 times a year. Many small-scale industries and
independent medium level industries are indulged in the plantation and
production.
Other than that, oil mills, cashew factories, cotton textiles, saw mills, printing units, chemical units, match factories, general engineering units, etc. are doing business and are in abundant in all scale. That being said, only processing units are actually established here and processed materials are then transported to the other parts of the country and the world, and not the heavy industries. The environment is well preserved by the government and keeping the city clean and green is encouraged among the citizen. This is the sole reason, that new heavy industries are not given permission to set-up new factories in the main town.

India’s first industrial park, exclusively for software and
IT sector, is developed here. The Technopark in the city has accommodated many
IT ventures, both big players and startups. With the passing time, as
Technopark is becoming unable to accommodate the increasing number of
companies, it is being expanded under the supervision of the Government of

companies, improved facilities, and futuristic services. Technopark have
accommodated companies like Oracle, Infosys, TCS, HCL, Tata Elxis, Ernst &

city. Production of spices, processing and transportation to the national and
international market is done from here. The quality of the spices is among the
best in the world, and hence the demand is throughout the world and never out
of season.
Sandalwood is also processed and produced here. It is then used for soap, scent and powder production. The products are costly and have thus very high market value and profit ratio.
