In a major initiative to streamline investment processes and promote responsible industrial practices, Kerala launched two digital facilities for investors. Invest Kerala web portal and Kerala Responsible Industry Incentive Scheme portal. Kerala Industries Minister P. Rajeeve unveiled the web portals here and described as a one-stop solution for investors. "These portals will provide all information regarding the processes and protocols for making investments and the state’s priorities in industrial sector in a comprehensive and easy-to-access manner”, said Rajeeve.

The minister added that the launch of these portals reflected the government’s commitment to fostering a robust, transparent and ethical business environment, which will contribute substantially to the economic development by attracting more investment, as envisaged by the Industrial Policy 2023. “The policy has laid emphasis on expediting industrial growth in a sustainable manner. The industries that make the best use of the human resource available in the state will get priority. This new facility will bolster investment”, added Rajeeve.

The Invest Kerala portal, available at https://www.invest.kerala.gov.in/, serves as a comprehensive solution for entrepreneurs seeking information and support related to investment. It offers assistance, answers to queries, and access to essential documents necessary for establishing and expanding businesses. On the other hand, the Kerala Responsible Industry Incentive Scheme portal, found at http://kriis.kerala.gov.in/, is designed to provide details about subsidies and incentives aimed at encouraging sustainable and responsible industrial practices as outlined in the Kerala Industrial Policy 2023. This platform enables industries to access these incentives by meeting specific criteria, aligning with the state's commitment to promote environmentally responsible and socially beneficial industrial growth.
