In a major boost to Punjab’s industrial landscape, a Chinese investor group has signed an agreement with the provincial government to develop a 300-acre industrial park, according to sources from the Punjab Industries, Commerce, Investment and Skills Development (ICISD) Department. The project, led by Sino Pak Tech Industry (Pvt) Ltd, brings an estimated USD 1.5 billion in foreign direct investment, marking one of the largest Chinese commitments to Punjab’s manufacturing sector in recent years.
The upcoming industrial zone will house manufacturing units in textiles, automotive, pharmaceuticals and allied sectors, with officials expecting the project to generate thousands of jobs as production ramps up. Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce Chaudhry Shafay Hussain said the government is “providing every possible facility to foreign investors,” adding that the investment would “usher in a new era of employment and industrial development in the province.”
The minister noted ongoing upgrades across Punjab’s Special Economic Zones, where international-standard infrastructure is being developed to attract global manufacturers. Under the Faisalabad Industrial Estate Development and Management Company (FIEDMC), additional investor-support facilities, including community centers and banking services, are being established.
Sino Pak Tech Industry (Pvt) Ltd is part of a wider network of Sino-Pak industrial cooperation firms working to expand Chinese manufacturing and technology integration in Pakistan. These entities, including SINOPAK Electromechanica (Pvt.) Ltd, provide comprehensive services for Chinese enterprises operating locally, covering procurement, logistics, customs clearance, transportation, installation, and after-sales support.
Sources close to the matter say the project reflects growing investor confidence in Punjab’s industrial infrastructure and policy environment.
