Selangor expects to exceed RM100 billion in investments this year, says Amirudin

# What happened Selangor's Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari told reporters the state recorded roughly RM70 billion in investments by mid‑2026 and expects the figure to rise past RM100 billion by the end of the year if current momentum continues. The state had originally set an RM80 billion target for 2026, matching 2025's achievement.

# Why Selangor thinks growth will continue Amirudin pointed to a combination of supply (new industrial land and infrastructure) and demand (active investor outreach).

• Park (NSIP) in Sepang is touted as the inaugural development under the Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (IDRISS) masterplan. NSIP covers about 368.26 hectares and carries a gross development value of RM10.2 billion. The project expects more than 200 factories to start operating after approvals, with most initial tenants listed as local companies.

• Infrastructure: A proposed third port on Carey Island is cited as another factor that should boost investment activity. Amirudin also mentioned the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) — if it begins operating as scheduled by year‑end — as a project that could energise northern areas and parts of Selangor.

• Outreach: The state government maintains regular investment missions abroad. Amirudin listed France, Germany, Saudi Arabia and South Korea as recent destinations for those missions, which he said contributed to the strong inflow of projects and commitments.

# Selangor's plan NSIP is part of the IDRISS masterplan and was included in the state's First Selangor Plan (RS‑1). Amirudin framed RS‑1 as an implementation plan rather than paper planning: NSIP was developed by a private company with state assistance. The government highlights NSIP's recognitions, its scale (368.26 hectares) and RM10.2 billion gross development value as evidence of tangible delivery under the RS‑1 agenda.

# What to watch next

• Approvals for the factories at NSIP and the timeline for their operations.
• Progress on the Carey Island port project and any formal investment commitments tied to it.
• Whether the ECRL begins operations on schedule and what that means for investor interest in northern Selangor and neighbouring regions.

# Bottom line Selangor has a strong mid‑year investment figure and several large projects and outreach efforts supporting the claim that total investments could exceed RM100 billion in 2026. The state strategy relies on delivering new industrial land and infrastructure, plus continued international investor engagement, to convert commitments into operational projects.
