SUHAR: The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) said Suhar Industrial City attracted 48 investment projects by 2025 with a combined investment exceeding RO 105 million.
The projects cover an area of more than two million square metres, reinforcing Suhar Industrial City’s position as one of Oman’s key industrial and manufacturing hubs.
Total cumulative investment in the industrial city has now reached RO 2.3 billion, while the leased area has exceeded 11.4 million square metres out of a total area of 28.4 million square metres. Employment across existing projects has also risen to around 13,299 workers.
Eng Abdullah bin Ahmed al Mayasi, Director General of Suhar Industrial City, said Madayn is currently implementing several strategic infrastructure and development projects within the city.
These include a consultancy study for the rehabilitation of infrastructure and support services across phases one to six, as well as the completion of infrastructure works for phase seven. The consultancy study is expected to be completed during the second quarter of this year.
Al Mayasi said Madayn is also preparing to roll out a package of strategic projects during the Eleventh Five-Year Development Plan (2026-2030). Key initiatives include upgrading infrastructure efficiency, modernising services, constructing integrated facilities to support industrial operations and developing a 97-megawatt solar power plant.
The plans also include consultancy services for establishing an integrated aluminium economic cluster aimed at strengthening industrial value chains within the industrial city.
He highlighted the importance of the plastics industrial complex, “Ladayn”, describing it as a major driver for economic growth and industrial investment.
According to Al Mayasi, the complex is helping attract foreign direct investment while creating a competitive industrial environment that supports technology transfer, industrial partnerships and local manufacturing growth.
He said the expansion of factories within the complex is stimulating related sectors including logistics, construction and real estate, while also creating opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises operating in supply and technical services.
Al Mayasi added that continued industrial expansion reflects growing confidence in Oman’s economy and supports infrastructure development, including roads, ports and utility networks, while increasing local added value.
The “Ladayn” plastics complex has witnessed rapid growth in recent years, supported by rising local and regional demand for plastic products and the investment incentives offered by Madayn.
Total investment in the complex has reached around RO 33.7 million, with leased space exceeding 181,000 square metres. By the end of 2026, the complex is expected to host around 19 projects, including operational facilities, projects under construction and newly signed investments. — ONA
