An exquisite building complex that blends modern architecture with the traditional Kerala style, it served as the division's main guest house.

With conserving many trees and rare plants, the township is built beautifully in a lush greenery with all major facilities including, schools, parks, stores and hospital, which makes it one of its kind.

Unfortunately, with the public sector company in financial trouble due to the liberalization of the markets and consequent loss of government subsidies for fertilizer manufacture while under a regulated price regime, Ambalamedu township fell into bad times.

Wanton pollution from the nearby factories such as Carbon Black near Karimugal turned it into an undesirable place to live.

FACT employees slowly abandoned the township and today many of the houses remain empty and in a very poor state of repair.
