Oman’s Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn) said will develop four industrial cities in key governorates across the sultanate spanning a total area of 25.5 million sq m. This comes as part of its 11th Five-Year Development Plan for 2026-2030 period.
The state-owned industrial estates developer said the projects in A’Suwaiq, Al Mudhaibi, Thumrait and Madha are aimed at supporting economic diversification, attracting local and foreign investment, strengthening industrial and logistics infrastructure and creating jobs, aligned with Oman Vision 2040 priorities.
The projects involve the development of fully integrated industrial cities equipped with advanced infrastructure and logistics services.
