What KINFRAiii does

KINFRA International Apparel Parks Ltd. (KIAP) is a Government of Kerala-owned industrial park operator incorporated in 1995 under the Companies Act 1956, and the first establishment of the Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA). The company operates a single 95.83-acre industrial park at Menamkulam, Kazhakkoottam, Thiruvananthapuram, providing developed industrial land, built-up factory space, and shared utilities — including 11 KV power distribution with 9 substations, a 1 MLD water treatment plant plus a 1.5 MLD Kerala Water Authority supply, and a 650 m3/day Common Effluent Treatment Plant — to over 106 industrial tenants employing more than 3,500 people across garment manufacturing, food processing, aerospace automotive parts, nanotechnology, medical devices (Terumo Penpol), pharmaceuticals (KMSCL), e-commerce, and furniture manufacturing. The park also operates a working women's hostel accommodating 500-800 residents, CCTV surveillance, canteen facilities, and a Park Centre for administrative services, with all tenants accessing single-window clearance via the KSWIFT platform.

KIAP's business model is built on long-duration land leases at a fixed premium of Rs 1,74,100 per cent for 30-year terms (renewable up to 90 years), recurring built-up space rental for Standard Design Factory buildings, common facility charges for shared infrastructure, and government support via schemes like Bhadratha that may waive rent during declared benefit periods. Customer onboarding follows a formal application process (Form A, Rs 100 + GST) routed through the District Industries Land Allotment Committee (DILAC), with EMD of 10% of lease premium and the balance payable in installments. Marketing is light-touch — primarily the kinfraiii.org website, a monthly KIAP Snippets newsletter, a Facebook page, and government e-procurement tenders — consistent with a state-entity GTM rather than commercial sales motion. The company is governed by a board chaired by the KINFRA Managing Director with directors representing the Finance Department, Industries Department, and the Chief Electrical Inspector's office, and has a lean administrative headcount of approximately 5 direct employees, with all operational scale residing in tenant enterprises on park premises.
