Thiruvankulam is a census town in Thrippunithura municipality, in Ernakulam district, Kerala, India.[1] The area is a part of the Kochi metropolitan area. NH 85 passes through Thiruvankulam. The Karingachira junction is the location of the southern terminus of the Seaport-Airport Road, which connects the Cochin International Airport and the Cochin Port.[2]
In the present day, Thiruvankulam's proximity to the city as well as industrial areas comprising the Kochi refineries and allied industries have contributed to its growth. The economic development of Kochi, as well as the nearby refinery industry have resulted in Thiruvankulam emerging as a major residential area.[3]
