Kalamassery ([kɐɭɐmɐʃːeːɾi]) is a major industrial region in the city of Kochi in the state of Kerala, India.
The Kalamassery Industrial Estate set up by the Government of Kerala is home to many major companies.
The area's location along the NH 66 and proximity to the IT centres in Kakkanad has enabled it to see a large spurt in economic development since the 1980s.
A primary driver of growth was the nearby Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore Limited (FACT) in Udyogamandal.
The climate is generally tropical, heavy rains from the southwest and northeast monsoon are common from June through September.
In 1947, FACT Udyogamandal started production of ammonium sulphate with an installed capacity of 10,000 MT nitrogen.
FACT became a Kerala State Public Sector Enterprise on 15 August 1960 and on 21 November 1962; the Government of India became a major Shareholder.
Many Vehicle aftersales - service centres like Toyota, Renault, Nissan, Volkswagen, Fiat India Automobiles etc., are located at Kalamassery.
The museum has a collection of 150 dolls, all hand-made and detailed, representing the cultural and ethnic diversity of India.

The gallery also displays a mural painting based on the classical Sanskrit drama Shakuntalam executed in the traditional Kerala.
