Dong Nai to Add More New Industrial Parks

​(News Portal – Dong Nai) - Dong Nai's industrial land fund is running low, while the demand from domestic and foreign enterprises to explore and invest in the province remains very high. Recently, the Government approved investment policies for several new industrial parks in Dong Nai, creating conditions to attract infrastructure investments and meet the land rental needs of enterprises.

Dong Nai is also in the process of selectively attracting investments with the goal of focusing on modern technology projects while developing green and eco-friendly industrial parks with increasingly higher standards. 

Large-Scale New Industrial Parks

In 2024, the Government approved the investment policies for several new industrial parks in Dong Nai, such as Bau Can - Tan Hiep, Xuan Que - Song Nhan, and Phuoc An.

Specifically, under Decision No. 1005/QD-TTg dated September 19, 2024, the Prime Minister approved the investment policy for the Bau Can - Tan Hiep Industrial Park Infrastructure Investment and Operation Project (Phase 1), with the project investor being Tan Hiep Industrial Park Joint Stock Company. This project spans 1,000 hectares of land with a 50-year operational period from the date of investment policy approval.

KCN Tan Hiep Joint Stock Company proposes implementing this industrial park as a centralized model with an industrial cluster framework to support industries such as logistics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, data centers (IDC), electricity, electronics, plastic and rubber packaging, wood products, paper, furniture, construction materials, automobiles, and aviation.

According to Le Nu Thuy Duong, General Director of KCN Tan Hiep Joint Stock Company, immediately after the investment policy approval, the enterprise actively coordinated with the province's authorities to complete related procedures, aiming to accelerate progress and establish a new-generation, modern, and large-scale industrial park in the region. The company also hopes for local support in resolving legal procedural difficulties and accelerating the development of connecting transportation routes to synchronize infrastructure investments both inside and outside the industrial park.

Recently, on December 2, the Xuan Que - Song Nhan Industrial Park (Phase 1) in Cam My District was also approved for investment policy, with the project investor being Xuan Que Industrial Park Joint Stock Company. Along with Bau Can - Tan Hiep, these are currently the two largest industrial parks in Dong Nai in terms of area.

Additionally, on August 16, 2024, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha signed Decision No. 862/QD-TTg approving adjustments to the general urban planning for Nhon Trach New Urban Area, Dong Nai Province, through 2035 with a vision to 2050 (focusing on technical infrastructure and industrial parks).

Under this adjustment, the land use function for the logistics service sub-zone and Phuoc An Port will be changed to industrial land. Concurrently, a new Phuoc An Industrial Park will be developed to align with the scale of Nhon Trach New Urban Area and Dong Nai Province.

With these new decisions, Dong Nai will gain thousands of additional hectares of land for industrial park infrastructure development and leasing in the near future. 

Preparing Conditions to Attract Quality Investments 

In recent years, Dong Nai has missed investment opportunities from multinational corporations requiring large industrial land due to the limited availability of concentrated land meeting enterprise requirements. Thus, promptly adding and completing industrial park infrastructure has become urgent, particularly from 2026 onwards when Long Thanh International Airport becomes operational.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Linh, Member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, alongside selecting high-quality technology projects, the establishment and investment in additional industrial park infrastructure projects must be expedited to meet investor needs. Delaying the expansion of industrial land will result in missed opportunities to attract groundbreaking projects vital for Dong Nai's development in the coming period. Addressing this issue promptly is imperative.

Another reality is that several industrial parks in Dong Nai have been operational for a long time but have yet to complete site clearance. For example, in Thanh Phu Industrial Park, provincial leaders recently required site clearance to be completed before the Lunar New Year 2025. Similarly, the large-scale Ho Nai Industrial Park is still awaiting land clearance to begin infrastructure development.​

Mr. Nguyen Cong Dinh, Director of Ho Nai Industrial Park Joint Stock Company, hopes for stronger local support in compensating and clearing the remaining land area. The company has pledged to work closely with relevant authorities to accelerate progress.
