PM Modi held a meeting with Mr Vijayan where he assured the chief minister and others that the package would be considered sympathetically, a government release said.
This package is besides the Rs. 422 crore sought by the state under the National Disaster Relief Fund which is being deemed insufficient to meet all losses incurred by cyclone Ockhi.
The state also wanted the Centre to declare the devastation as a national disaster.
The prime minister said the centre would seriously examine Kerala's report that the state had not received any prior cyclone alert, according to the release.
At the meeting, the chief minister said the state government had made all possible efforts to rescue the cyclone victims and provide them relief.
