Thai Ha Industrial Park - Ha Nam

I. OVERVIEW

On November 15, 2019, the Prime Minister approved the investment proposal for Thai Ha Industrial Park Phase 1 (Decision 1643/QD-TTg). This decision covered the construction and operation of infrastructure across 100 hectares, with future expansion plans to 385 hectares as part of the overall development of the Thai Ha urban area by 2025. Thai Ha Industrial Park, led by Thai Ha Industrial Park and Urban Development Joint Stock Company, became the first industrial park in Ly Nhan District, Ha Nam Province. Land clearance work is mostly finished.

Currently, numerous domestic and foreign enterprises within and outside the province express interest in investing in the industrial park. They research potential investment projects. The availability of clean land and well-developed infrastructure plays a crucial role in attracting investments to benefit Ha Nam Province and enhance the prospects of Thai Ha Industrial Park.

Functioning factories within the industrial park will stimulate socio-economic growth in Ly Nhan District and other districts. Residents in the Bac Ly, Chan Ly, and Tran Hung Dao areas will especially benefit. This development generates additional revenue for the local budget and transforms agricultural land into industrial production areas. Consequently, surplus labor is attracted, leading to a shift in the labor structure towards industrialization and modernization.

With the completion of its technical infrastructure, the industrial park is expected to attract both domestic and foreign investors.
