The mall covers a total built-up area of 1,260,000 sq ft (117,000 m²), with 810,000 sq ft (75,000 m²) of retail space, making it one of the largest shopping malls in Kerala. It opened to the public on 10 April 2015.

Facilities at HiLITE Mall include a large food court, restaurants, [3] family entertainment zones, a children’s play area, a snow-themed attraction, gaming arcades, billiards facilities, beauty parlours, and a bowling alley. It also houses Palaxi Cinemas, an eight-screen multiplex featuring Kerala's first EPIQ (Enhanced Presentation in Digital Cinema) large-format screen. [4] [5]

HiLITE Mall has also been described as India’s first fully solar-powered shopping mall. [6]

Location

HiLITE Mall is located along National Highway 66 at the Palazhi bypass junction, on the outskirts of Kozhikode. [7]

The mall is situated near major IT hubs of the city, including the government-run Cyberpark and the ULCCS Technology Park. Its proximity to these business areas contributes to weekday visitor traffic from working professionals and families. [8] [9]

Sustainability

HiLITE Mall has been described as India’s first fully solar-powered shopping mall, setting a benchmark in sustainable infrastructure. [10] The solar plants, developed in partnership with INKEL Ltd, supply power to the entire mall complex and reduce reliance on conventional energy sources.

The initiative began with the Calicut and Thrissur malls, where solar plants with a combined capacity of 12 MW generate over 48,000 units of renewable energy daily. [11] This reduces approximately 28,750 tons of carbon emissions annually, an effect comparable to planting 1.3 million trees or removing more than 6,000 petrol vehicles from circulation. [11]
