Six industrial clusters to be merged into industrial parks

According to Resolution No. 147, dated July 15, 2021, of the provincial Party Committee on Bac Giang’s industrial development in the 2021-2030 period, the province will merge six industrial clusters (IC) into industrial parks (IP). They include Tan Hung in Lang Giang district (49.7 ha); Tang Tien in Viet Yen district (37 ha); Noi Hoang in Yen Dung district (37.5 ha); Cau Go in Yen The district (over 4 ha); Trai Ba in Luc Ngan district (8.6 ha); and Duc Thang in Hiep Hoa district (nearly 3 ha).

Infrastructure of Tan Hung IC in Lang Giang district has been basically completed.

Currently, Noi Hoang and Duc Thang ICs have been basically filled; Cau Go has two investors; Tang Tien and Tan Hung basically have their infrastructure completed, without any secondary investor. Particularly, Trai Ba IC, invested by the People's Committee of Luc Ngan district, has not received funding for infrastructure construction.

The mergers will create favorable conditions in terms of state management to attract secondary investors as ICs are now managed by the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, while IPs are managed by the Management Board of provincial Industrial Parks. In addition, enterprises investing in IPs will enjoy more preferential policies on land rent and taxes. Therefore, enterprises, especially large ones, always want to invest in IPs.

A representative of the Industrial Management Division under the Department of Industry and Trade said that the province plans to close three ICs, namely Duc Thang, Cau Go and Trai Ba.

By 2025, the province strives to merge Tan Hung IC into Tan Hung IP in Lang Giang district and Tang Tien IC into Van Trung IP in Viet Yen district. Meanwhile, Noi Hoang IC will be merged into Song Khe - Noi Hoang IP in the next stage as it has been filled with the presence of secondary investors.

Actively filling IPs

Despite many advantages, the merger of industrial clusters into industrial parks also raises some problems in transport infrastructure connection, wastewater treatment, cooperation and benefit sharing between IC and IP infrastructure investors after merging…

According to the Management Board of provincial Industrial Parks, the merger is completely legal. Recently, Cuu Long Infrastructure Development Company Limited, the investor of Tang Tien IC, has submitted a proposal on the merger of the IC into Van Trung IP to the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

For Tan Hung IP, the site clearance has been basically completed and the investor - Lideco 1 Joint Stock Company is preparing to build its infrastructure, with a view to attracting secondary investors on an area of about 50 ha by the first quarter of 2023 and the entire 105.3 ha area by the fourth quarter of next year. Thus, the merger of Tan Hung IC into Tan Hung IP will be completed after 2023.

Dang Hoang Long, head of the Division of Natural Resources and Environment Management under the Management Board of provincial Industrial Parks, said that currently, investors of Tang Tien and Tan Hung ICs are still waiting for guidance from the Ministry of Planning and Investment regarding their mergers.

The merger of ICs into IPs is the right policy, bringing benefits to both investors and Bac Giang province. Therefore, the provincial authorities proposed the Ministry of Planning and Investment soon provide guidance to help investors of local ICs and IPs carry out the mergers, promptly seizing investment opportunities for local socio-economic development.
