The project was initially announced by the Congress-led United Democratic Front government in October 2005 and was put on hold following opposition from the youth wing of the CPI-M, now in power.

Achuthanandan, heading the CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front informed the Assembly that the master plan for the Techocity was ready. He also said that the proposed project would create 400,000 jobs, directly and indirectly.

Earlier, the Oommen Chandy-led UDF government had conceived the Technocity as a township. The Technocity became a necessity after the Technopark was fully occupied.
