A number of new industrial projects have been established at the Dhi Qar Industrial City, according to the Industrial Cities Authority, which operates under the Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
The Industrial Cities Authority director-general, engineer Anas Hashim, said the industrial city covers an area of 2,000 dunams and is designated for light and medium industries. It comprises 105 serviced industrial plots equipped with water, sewerage, electricity and telecommunications networks, as well as administrative and service buildings, a water treatment plant, maintenance workshops, and a power station that has entered the trial operation phase.
Hashim added that all serviced plots have been leased to industrialists in accordance with applicable regulations, resulting in the establishment of several industrial projects, including:
- An industrial oil recycling factory
- An industrial gases factory
- Tyre and paper waste recycling factories
- Food and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities
Unserviced plots have also been allocated to industrialists wishing to develop them independently, bringing the total number of leased industrial plots to 278.
Industrialists benefit from a two-year rent exemption as an incentive to attract investment to the city. The authority said it intends to continue developing industrial cities across various governorates to organise and localise industries, create employment opportunities, and attract capital.
