Amendments made to industrial land allotment regulations in Keralam

The Industries department has sanctioned changes to the Unified Industrial Land/Building (Allotment & Disposal) Regulations for KINFRA & KSIDC, 2024, enabling optimal utilisation of industrial land, flexibility in permitted industrial activities, facilitation of subleasing and creation of common infrastructure facilities in industrial parks and industrial estates.

The unified regulations were framed in 2024 for regulating allotment and disposal of land or buildings owned by the land allotment agencies Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA) and Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation Limited (KSIDC).

A high-level committee chaired by the Union Cabinet Secretary reviewed the land allotment policies of various States and recommended that States devise enabling provisions for optimisation of land use in existing and upcoming industrial clusters. The changes to the regulations have been made based on these recommendations.
