Rubber Park

What Rubber Park does

Rubber Park India Pvt Ltd is a government-promoted joint venture between KINFRA (Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation) and the Rubber Board (Government of India), incorporated on 10 December 1997. It operates India's first and only industrial park exclusively dedicated to rubber and rubber-wood-based industries, with its primary facility at Irapuram, Ernakulam, Kerala, and a second park under development at Piravanthoor in Kollam district.

The company delivers a bundled industrial-infrastructure offering to rubber-product and rubber-wood manufacturers, including plotted industrial land for long-term lease, a licensed in-park electricity distribution network, a dedicated water supply reservoir ("Sarovaram" with 25 million litre capacity), a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP, 250 Cu.M, currently being expanded to 500 Cu.M), and the NABL-accredited JJ Murphy Research Centre providing rubber testing and certification services. It also runs internship and skill-development programmes in partnership with Indian colleges and German institutions including the Fraunhofer Institute.

Rubber Park earns revenue through industrial land lease rentals, regulated utility service charges (electricity distribution, water supply, effluent treatment), and testing/certification fees at JJMRC. Its tenant base consists of approximately 20 named rubber and rubber-wood manufacturers, primarily small and mid-sized processors that benefit from shared effluent, power, and water infrastructure that would be uneconomical to replicate on a standalone basis. The company's strategic posture combines defensive government-backed monopoly status with offensive expansion via a second park, deeper R&D linkages, and engagement with high-end rubber applications.
