In 1984, based on the demands of upland planters, the Sri Lanka Rifle Corps is formed, the successor to the disbanded British Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps.


Two battalions have been formed at Pallekele and Neuchatel Estate Neboda. The battalions were recruited from the Central Highlands area.
The first commander was a colonel, later Gen. Ranjan Wijeratne (2nd Battalion), who was also the head of the State Plantation Company, and Col. P.R Seneviratne (1st Battalion), head of the Janatha Estate Development Board.


The battalions were deployed in the Northern and Eastern provinces during the 1983-2009 civil war.


Currently the unit is stationed in the central region where it provides protection for hydroelectric projects and dams. It maintains one detachment in Kandy, to protect the Temple of the Tooth.


It is a volunteer unit stationed in Colombo- Army Headquarters.
