VJ Kurian IAS: the visionary who steered Cochin airport for 19 years

A piece on VJ Kurian IAS, the visionary who steered the Cochin International Airport for 19 years, right from it's inception.

CIAL has set an example to the World by showing how a project could be a social and a financial success.

CIAL's switch to solar power is expected to avoid approximately 300,000 metric tons of carbon emissions during their lifetime - the equivalent of planting three million trees.

The World's first fully solar powered airport employs one member each from the 822 families displaced from the project site.

CIAL has generated great value for shareholders by paying dividends every year since FY2004. As of FY2020, the total dividend payout crossed 282%.
