In a bold step to boost long-term industrial and IT investments, the Kerala government has overhauled its land allotment policy—extending lease durations, offering flexible payment options, and opening new opportunities in logistics and renewable energy sectors. Under the revised policy, industrial land leases have been increased from 30 to 60 years for general projects. High-value investments above ₹100 crore requiring at least 10 acres are now eligible for leases up to 90 years. Investors can also benefit from a new installment scheme, paying 20% of the lease premium upfront and the remaining 80% over five years. The state has further eased norms for logistics firms, allowing subleasing of developed spaces, and introduced annual rental options for large-scale green energy projects. These sweeping reforms aim to position Kerala as a premier investment destination, creating a more business-friendly ecosystem and accelerating economic growth.
