Kerala has approved India’s first comprehensive graphene policy to position the state as a global hub for research, development, and manufacturing of this advanced material. Graphene, known for its strength, conductivity, and flexibility, will be promoted through the Grefine Park in Palakkad and a Digital Innovation Centre, with an investment of ₹200 crore.
The state will offer 50% lease subsidies for units in government-managed parks to attract domestic and international investors. The policy emphasizes linking research and industry by fostering collaborations with global institutions like Oxford and Manchester Universities, enabling seamless technology transfer and commercialization.
