Ramanattukara is a small yet bustling village-town situated 16 km south of Calicut city. Its location on the intersection of NH17 and NH213 had already given its economy a boost. This town also benefited when the Calicut Airport came up, as this town is located on the Airport Road. To top it up, now the NH bypass for Calicut city starts from here. This has, again, added to the importance of this otherwise sleepy village-town.

This town acts as a commercial center for the nearby smaller village-towns. As is the case with any other Indian city, Calicut is also experiencing rapid growth. And the city limits have expanded almost up to Ramanattukara now. So new-age buildings for malls, hotels, etc. are becoming a common sight here.

The nearest railhead to Ramanattukara is Ferok (5 km) and the nearest airport is Calicut International Airport (10 km).
