Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 20 (PTI) In a significant achievement, Technopark has been awarded A+/Stable rating for the fourth consecutive year by the rating agency CRISIL for maintaining a robust as well as proper financial position and progress, the state government said on Friday.

Technopark, which is India's first IT Park located in the Kerala capital, received A+/Stable rating by the Credit Rating Information Service of India Ltd (CRISIL) in 2021, after which it had maintained the same in the last two years as well, a release said.

At present Technopark is home to 490 Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology enabled Services (ITeS) companies with a direct employability of 75,000, it said.

It further said that the high to almost full occupancy in all campuses at Technopark with diversified clientele ensures steady cash flows.

Additionally, the ongoing flagship projects along with the projects in pipeline were the critical parameters evaluated by CRISIL and helped Technopark achieve the A+/Stable rating again in 2024, the release said.

"The A+ rating accompanied by a stable outlook, highlights our park's consistent ability to meet its financial obligations while maintaining long-term sustainability.
