NCT Smart Industrial Park to Power Selangor’s Growth

NCT and MPKL Forge Partnership to Drive Smart Industrial Growth in Selangor

Selangor’s position as Malaysia’s industrial heartland is set for another leap forward as NCT Group of Companies (NCT Group) and the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) join forces to accelerate development of the NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) — a next-generation industrial hub designed for sustainability, technology, and investor confidence.

The partnership, announced at the Selangor International Business Summit 2025 (SIBS 2025), aims to transform Kuala Langat into a key destination for high-value industries under Malaysia’s broader digital and green economy strategy.

1. A Vision for a World-Class Industrial Ecosystem

According to Datuk Joe Yap Fook Choy, executive director of NCT Group, the NSIP collaboration represents a long-term vision for Malaysia’s industrial future.

2. Kuala Langat: Selangor’s Next Growth Frontier

Kuala Langat’s transformation is already well underway. Once known primarily for agriculture and light manufacturing, the district is emerging as Selangor’s next smart industrial hub, benefitting from its location within the Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (IDRISS).

MPKL president Mohd Hasry Nor Mohd said the collaboration marks “a new era of opportunity” for the district.

“By working with NCT Group, we are shaping a district that is competitive, sustainable and inclusive,” he said.

“From attracting high-value industries and creating jobs, to delivering better facilities and building stronger communities, this partnership reflects our determination to position Kuala Langat as a model of smart development that contributes to the nation’s broader growth trajectory.”

3. NCT Smart Industrial Park: Malaysia’s First Managed Industrial Park

NSIP is Malaysia’s first officially certified Managed Industrial Park, a status that sets it apart from conventional industrial estates.

The certification ensures investors benefit from:

Centralised facilities management and 24/7 operations support
Smart infrastructure integration, including digital connectivity and IoT-based systems
Sustainability compliance, covering green building, waste management and energy efficiency
Improved logistics and supply chain efficiency through well-planned road access

Strategically located within the IDRISS region, NSIP also enjoys direct access to major highways, ports, and air logistics facilities, including Klang Port, KLIA, and West Coast Expressway, positioning it as a vital logistics and technology node for Southeast Asia.

4. A Model for Sustainable Industrial Development

Beyond economic metrics, the partnership between NCT and MPKL aims to make NSIP a benchmark for responsible industrialisation.

The plan includes:

Smart City elements — high-speed digital infrastructure, IoT-based utilities, and automated monitoring systems
Green initiatives such as tree planting, waste segregation, and digital resource tracking
Enhanced public spaces, including landscaped parks, community halls, and markets
Public infrastructure upgrades — covering drainage, lighting, roads, and public transport access

Both sides have also agreed to streamline regulatory processes, allowing for faster project approvals and clearer investor communication — a move expected to make Kuala Langat more competitive in attracting both local and international tenants.

5. Empowering Local Entrepreneurs and Talent

In addition to global enterprises, the NCT–MPKL partnership includes a strong local empowerment component.

The initiative will support local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through business facilitation, mentorship and financing access, while also encouraging youth participation through education, innovation and upskilling programmes.

Mohd Hasry highlighted that the collaboration will help bridge the gap between industrial modernisation and community development.

“This partnership is not just about factories — it’s about people. It’s about giving Kuala Langat’s youth and entrepreneurs the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the region’s growth,” he said.

6. Driving Selangor’s Industrial Investment Momentum

The timing of the NSIP partnership coincides with Selangor’s push to remain Malaysia’s largest investment destination, accounting for over 30% of national GDP.

Under the Selangor Industrial Master Plan and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), the state is prioritising:

Advanced manufacturing and logistics
Renewable energy and green technology
Digital transformation and automation
Industrial parks with integrated smart infrastructure

NSIP fits perfectly within this vision, promising to deliver a sustainable, digitally enabled industrial ecosystem that supports Malaysia’s ambitions to become a regional manufacturing and innovation hub.

7. A Long-Term Bet on Smart Urban Growth

For investors, NSIP represents more than just an industrial park — it’s a long-term opportunity tied to Malaysia’s next phase of economic evolution.

By embedding sustainability, digitalisation, and regulatory efficiency into its DNA, NSIP is poised to attract not only industrial tenants but also ancillary developments such as logistics hubs, worker accommodations, and supporting retail spaces.

These spillovers are expected to enhance land values across Kuala Langat and southern Selangor, creating ripple effects for the broader property market.
