Uralungal Labour Contract Co-operative Society spreading wings outside Keralam
The Uralungal Labour Contract Co-operative Society (ULCCS) is expanding its construction and infrastructure operations beyond Kerala into states like Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The cooperative plans to leverage its expertise in roads, bridges, and industrial buildings while diversifying into private-sector property development.
Why it matters
This expansion marks a significant scaling effort for a cooperative model, demonstrating its ability to compete with private firms in large-scale infrastructure and commercial development across India.
The Uralungal Labour Contract Co-operative Society (ULCCS) is spreading its wings outside Keralam, with projects with a total financial heft of ₹4,000 crore planned in the first year.
ULCCS has taken up construction projects in airports and industrial areas in Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, a statement said. The emphasis will be on roads, bridges, airports and pre-engineered buildings that fall within the areas of expertise of the cooperative society.
In the buildings sector, ULCCS has already won private-sector projects worth ₹62.67 crore from outside Keralam, according to the statement. Topping this list is a factory project in Tirunelveli for a national-level company. Work on a factory for a logistics warehousing firm is progressing in Telangana, while a performance arts centre and convention centre will be built in Karnataka for a hospitality major.
