The Kerala government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, is embarking on a pioneering journey to establish a cutting-edge graphene production facility in the state. This ambitious project, valued at ₹237 crore, is set to harness the extraordinary electrical and electronic properties of graphene, often referred to as a “wonder material.”

 

Graphene, recognized as the thinnest and strongest material globally, is celebrated for its exceptional attributes, including unparalleled electrical conductivity, chemical stability, transparency, and a substantial surface area. These characteristics make it a material of immense interest for a wide range of applications, from electronics to advanced materials.

The state government’s decision to set up the graphene production facility was made during a cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The project will operate under a public-private partnership model, fostering innovation and development while optimizing resource allocation. The total cost of this initiative is estimated at ₹237 crore, with the Kerala Digital University leading the implementation efforts.

 

The Kerala Digital University will spearhead this project and has been authorized to prepare an initial proposal to secure loans from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB). Moreover, the university will initiate a global expression of interest to identify private partners willing to contribute to this groundbreaking venture.

 

KINFRA (Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation) will play a pivotal role in infrastructure development for the graphene production facility. As a designated special purpose vehicle, KINFRA will leverage its expertise to ensure the smooth execution of the project.

 

The government’s vision for a graphene ecosystem, as outlined in the 2022-23 budget, aims to stimulate advancements in material technologies. This ecosystem envisions a robust research and development framework, including the India Innovation Centre for Graphene. Although still in its initial stages, this research and development center will focus on the technological advancements enabled by graphene-based materials.

 

In preparation for this forward-looking initiative, a managing committee will be formed, bringing together representatives from the Industries and IT Departments, as well as KINFRA. Their collective efforts will guide the development of the graphene production facility, ensuring that it aligns with the state’s goals and objectives.

 

Additionally, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) shared that a middle-level graphene production unit is in the process of being established. This unit will serve as a pivotal step in realizing the potential of graphene, transforming it from a scientific curiosity into an industrially viable material with numerous applications.

 

In other significant decisions, the cabinet has allocated an additional government guarantee of ₹100 crore to the Kerala State Backward Classes Development Corporation. This funding will support the extensive implementation of schemes under the National Safai Karmacharis Finance and Development Corporation, reflecting the government’s commitment to inclusive development and welfare.

 

Kerala’s investment in graphene production underscores its commitment to fostering innovation and economic growth. By harnessing the remarkable properties of graphene, the state is positioning itself at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and materials, promising a brighter future for industries and research.
