Kerala Development and Infrastructure

Kerala’s infrastructure development is anchored by major sectors like transportation, energy, communication, drinking water, housing and rural - urban development, heavily backed by the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB). KIIFB mobilizes off-budget financial resources for large-scale physical and social projects.

The Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) is a financial institution incorporated to mobilise funds for the major infrastructure projects in the state. KIIFB was established in 1999. It was then revitalised in 2016 to address the funding gaps in large scale infrastructure projects such as roads, hospitals and educational institutions. KIIFB raises funds through innovative financial instruments. It works with State and Central public sector agencies as Special Purpose Vehicles to support infrastructure development.
