Chan Hung Industrial Park - Vinh Phuc

I. Overview of Chan Hung Industrial Park – Vinh Phuc:

Planning information:

The Provincial Party Committee’s Standing Committee approved the implementation of Chan Hung Industrial Park – Vinh Phuc, initially known as Chan Hung Industrial Cluster, through Resolution No. 14-NQ/TU on January 6, 2003. The Provincial People’s Committee approved the detailed planning in Decision No. 3740/QD-UB on October 3, 2003, and Decision No. 4075/QD-UB on November 17, 2004.

On August 21, 2006, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 1107/QD-TTg, approving the list of Chan Hung Industrial Park with an area of 80 hectares. Prime Minister’s Documents No. 214/TTg-KTN on December 8, 2009, and No. 2628/TTg-KTN on December 22, 2014, later increased the scale to 131.31 hectares.

On July 31, 2013, Chan Hung Industrial Park underwent detailed planning adjustment at a ratio of 1/2000 in Decision No. 1975/QD-UBND. The industrial park’s area decreased from 131.31 hectares to 129.75 hectares. Of this, 90.4 hectares were designated for industrial land leasing, which accounted for 69.67% of the planned area.

Information about the investor:

On August 29, 2006, the Vinh Phuc Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Vietnam Glass and Ceramics Corporation – Ministry of Construction (VIGLACERA) as the investor responsible for construction and infrastructure development of Chan Hung Industrial Park, according to Decision No. 2045/QD-UBND.

The Vinh Phuc Provincial People’s Committee transferred Chan Hung Industrial Park to a new investor, FLC Group Joint Stock Company, on September 6, 2014. This was done in accordance with Decision No. 2420/QD-UBND. The total planned investment for the park was over 1,100 billion VND.

However, since becoming the investor, FLC has been unable to carry out any construction activities due to obstacles in compensation, land clearance, and procedural matters. Furthermore, the regulations of the new Investment Law (2014) required conducting a land use right auction to select investors for Chan Hung Industrial Park at the time of the transfer to FLC.

Therefore, on June 27, 2019, the Vinh Phuc Provincial People’s Committee issued Official Letter No. 1561 to revoke and cancel all decisions related to the investment project of Chan Hung Industrial Park assigned to FLC. A legal auction process will be conducted to select a new investor after the completion of the compensation and land clearance.

Investment information:

Currently, Chan Hung Industrial Park has not found a new infrastructure investor after the reclamation from the previous investor FLC. As a result, the industrial park has not yet commenced infrastructure construction. Vinh Phuc province is actively addressing related issues to promptly find a new investor capable of continuing the project’s implementation.
