Considering the requests of various IT companies and developers for space and land, Infopark Kochi is expanding its activities in Infopark Phase II. The Jyothirmaya building inaugurated by the [[Chief Minister of Kerala]] on Jan 22 2017<ref>[https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/infrastructure/jyothirmaya-to-be-opened-by-kerala-cm-on-jan-22/articleshow/56662632.cms] Jyothirmaya to be opened by Kerala CM on Jan 22 2017</ref> is at a distance of around 1.6 km from Phase I campus and is on the side of Kadamprayar river. The new park is envisaged to be a landmark in the IT history of Kerala with both SEZ and non-SEZ type of development and social infrastructure. The new park lies in an extent of 160 acres in the neighboring Kunnathunad- Puthencruz villages of Kunnathunad Taluk, Ernakulam District. The Board of Approvals (BoA) of the Union Ministry of Commerce have granted SEZ status to the 98 acres in Infopark phase II.<ref name="Infopark growing"/><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/article2868602.ece | location=Chennai, India | work=The Hindu | title=Infopark upbeat about sustained growth | date=2012-02-07}}</ref>

A master plan for the second phase envisages infrastructure development for cost-effective Software development blocks in SEZ and non-SEZ clusters, BPO complexes, utility services including substation, water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, road network, etc. The park will be designed as an eco-friendly green park with high energy-saving measures and least carbon emission. The existing ecosystem will be maintained to the highest possible level. Apart from the built-up space for IT, the park will have a large business convention center the first of its kind in Kochi, budget hotels, shopping complexes, commercial centers, recreation, and entertainment centers.<ref name="Infopark Phase 2" />

Infopark along with its co-developers expect to create 8 million sq.ft. of IT/ITES/BPO and associated basic infrastructure and commercial and social infrastructure space. The basic infrastructure that will be developed by Infopark will include a 220 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) with distribution facilities, access, and internal roads, stormwater drains, cable trenches, water treatment, and supply, data connectivity, etc. Master Plan of the Park has been developed by [[CannonDesign]], New York-based Architectural Consultant.<ref name="Infopark Phase 2" />

Three multinational companies have already evinced interest in the Rs 2,500 crore, 8 Million sqft Phase II of Infopark Kochi. The second phase, which will create 80,000 software jobs, is expected to be completed in eight years.<ref>[http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/cities/kochi/state-makes-giant-strides-it-sector-forms-new-policy-707] State makes giant strides in IT sector, forms new policy</ref> Infrastructure development will be undertaken in a phased manner and will be completed by 2011. The construction of the first IT building of around 5 lakhs sq.ft. has commenced and is expected to be completed by December 2012. On full completion, total employment expected to be generated in this new campus is 80,000.<ref name="Infopark Kochi in expansion mode"/>

[[Cognizant Technology Solutions]] has a 1.6 [[Million]] Sq.Ft self owned campus in 15 acres in Infopark phase II.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/Infopark-expects-to-get-more-land-for-2nd-phase-development/article17049120.ece | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=Infopark expects to get more land for 2nd phase development | date=2017-01-17}}</ref>
[[UST Global]] is also all set to start a new campus at Infopark Phase II.

==Branches==
Infopark has branched out to nearby cities and towns. The park is built on the 'Hub and Spoke model' for the development of the Information Technology industry in Kerala. InfoPark, Kochi acts as the hub to the spokes located at [[InfoPark Koratty|Thrissur]] and [[Cherthala]]

===[[InfoPark Thrissur|Infopark Thrissur]]===

[[Infopark Thrissur]] is located at [[Koratty]] which is around 45 km from [[Kochi]] in [[Thrissur]] District. It is approximately 20 km from [[Cochin International Airport]] at [[Nedumbassery]]. The park is situated very close to the National Highway 47. Currently, Infopark, [[Thrissur]] possesses 30 acres of prime land. It is expected that some more land also will be added to the Park in the near future. Infrastructure development work for the Park has already commenced. The first set of IT Buildings of approximately 40,000 sft area with plug and play facilities is ready and companies have started setting-up operations at Thrissur. Phase-II additional 3,30 lakhs sft of space will be ready for allotment by October 2015.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/infopark-sets-sights-on-massive-investment/article7280859.ece | location=Kochi, India | work=The Hindu | title=Koratty infopark 3.30 Lakhs built-up area | date=2015-06-03}}</ref> Close proximity to the airport and national highway with uninterrupted Power, Water and Connectivity has already generated keen interest among IT Entrepreneurs to commence operations from Infopark, Thrissur.<ref>[[InfoPark Thrissur#List of major companies at Koratty Infopark and their websites|List of major companies at Koratty Infopark and their websites]]</ref>

=== [[Infopark Cherthala]] ===

==Transportation==

There are a large number of private buses which operate into the InfoPark campus from different corners of Kochi city such as [[Aluva]], downtown [[Ernakulam]] and [[Thripunithura]]. KURTC operates AC low-floor bus services to and from InfoPark.

A boat service runs between Vyttila Mobility Hub and [[Kakkanad]] jetty, which is located close to the InfoPark Expressway. This ferry covers the distance between [[Vyttila]] and Kakkanad in 20 minutes.

The [[Kochi Metro]] rail has planned its extension to Kakkanad from [[Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi|Kaloor Stadium]]. This extension will terminate at InfoPark with a metro station each at Phase-I and Phase-II campuses, thus giving efficient metro rail connectivity to the IT park.

The lack of transport connectivity to Infopark at Kakkanad is a big hurdle for the 30,000 workforces. At a workshop on ‘Connecting the Dots on Public Transport’, recently organized by CPPR and WTC, Kochi has come up with a slew of proposals to develop public transport in the area. These, include re-routing of buses or providing additional bus services to the area, introducing modern transportation infrastructure such as demand-based bus systems and improving existing water and road connectivity to the area.<ref>http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2017/jul/29/cppr-proposes-to-develop-public-transport-in-it-hub-1635037--1.html
