The 101-year-old leader was admitted to the hospital last week and is being treated in the intensive care unit by a team of specialist doctors.
His various health parameters are being closely monitored, sources added.
Achuthanandan, a towering figure in Kerala politics, has been battling age-related health issues in recent years and has largely withdrawn from public life.
He is the last surviving member of the group that founded the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in 1964, following the vertical split in the undivided Communist Party.
A lifelong campaigner for social justice and workers' rights, Achuthanandan served as Kerala's Chief Minister from 2006 to 2011.
