KHASAB: Mahas Industrial City has reinforced its position as a key investment hub in Musandam Governorate, with cumulative investments surpassing RO 45.7 million by the end of 2025, alongside continued expansion across multiple industrial sectors.
Mubarak bin Salim al Ghailani, Acting Director General of Mahas Industrial City, said around 20 projects and contracts have been signed to date, generating approximately 247 jobs. New investments in 2025 alone exceeded RO 4.18 million, covering sectors such as packaging, beverages and construction industries across a total area of 109,910 square metres.
As part of its 2026–2030 development plan, the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) has commenced several projects, including the Madayn Pioneer Industrial Complex. The facility will comprise 10 ready-built factories spanning 12,000 square metres at a cost of RO 1.5 million, aimed at supporting entrepreneurship and SMEs.

Infrastructure development continues in parallel, with work under way on security surveillance systems and landscaping at key entry and exit points. Expansion plans are also progressing in coordination with relevant authorities to provide additional industrial, logistics and service spaces.
In 2025, the industrial city completed a major infrastructure and flood protection project covering one million square metres at a cost of RO 5 million. The project included road networks, an 80-metre bridge, water and wastewater facilities, drainage systems, lighting infrastructure and utility networks, all built to international standards.
Mahas has also supported SMEs through tenders exceeding RO 250,000 awarded to Riyada-certified enterprises, while implementing flood mitigation measures and operational upgrades.
Strategically located overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, the industrial city benefits from proximity to Khasab Port and Airport, enhancing its appeal for industrial, logistics and tourism investments. The development aligns with Oman Vision 2040 goals to drive regional growth, strengthen industrial output and create employment opportunities. — ONA
