Automation work and pay in Kerala
Kerala searches for this subject usually say "industrial automation course". The AEP is that course: PLC programming on wired panels, SCADA, HMI and drives, at the classroom in Electronic City, Bangalore.
Kerala's process industry is concentrated around Kochi (refinery, fertilisers, shipyard, port) and in Palakkad district, with KSIDC and KINFRA running the state's industrial parks. The Kochi pay figure on AmbitionBox rests on only 8 salaries and is marked low confidence, so read it with the Bengaluru figure beside it.
Industrial estates and investment: KSIDC (Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation); KINFRA.
