What Is IDRISS, and Why South Selangor Matters in 2026
The Integrated Development Region in South Selangor (IDRISS) is one of Malaysia's most ambitious regional masterplans, covering the Sepang and Kuala Langat districts. According to Invest Selangor, IDRISS spans an official 16,369.58 acres and is projected to generate roughly RM57.7 billion in gross development value (GDV) across 9 high-impact anchor projects.
A note on the numbers: some media reports cite a region of around 40,000 acres. That larger figure reflects a broader catchment or planning boundary. For consistency, this guide uses the official 16,369.58-acre figure published by Invest Selangor.
South Selangor sits at the convergence of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA/KLIA2), Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Nilai, and the West Coast Expressway (WCE) corridor toward Port Klang and Carey Island. That combination of airport, multimodal logistics, and a fast-growing data-centre cluster is what makes the region attractive to manufacturers, exporters, and supply-chain operators heading into 2026.
The Notable Industrial Parks and Anchor Developments in IDRISS
Below is a balanced look at the headline anchor projects within (or adjacent to) the IDRISS region. Specifications vary by developer and phase — always confirm current details directly with each project's developer.
1. NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) — the flagship managed, low-carbon park
NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP), developed by NCT Group / NCT Land (parent: NCT Alliance Berhad, listed on Bursa Malaysia), is the anchor we cover in most depth because it represents the "managed park" model in its most complete form.
- Scale: approximately 732 acres, with around RM10 billion GDV; Phase 1 spans 230.09 acres.
- Tenure: leasehold.
- Location: straddling Sepang and Kuala Langat along Jalan Langat Lestari (mukim Tanjong Duabelas), near Dengkil, Bukit Changgang, Salak Tinggi, Cyberjaya, and Putrajaya.
- Recognitions: Malaysia's first Managed Industrial Park and first low-carbon managed industrial park (Malaysia Book of Records); GreenRE-certified (Township category, Bronze); 5-Diamond rating under the Low Carbon Cities Framework at the MGTC Low Carbon City Awards 2024.
- Connectivity: ~12 km to KLIA/KLIA2, ~5 km to major highways (MEX, ELITE, NKVE, KESAS, PLUS, plus the WCE), ~42 km to Carey Island Port and ~46 km to West Port Klang.
- Pricing: managed factory units from RM5,108,000 (see the table below).
What makes NSIP a "managed" park rather than a plain industrial estate is the operational layer: it is gated and guarded with 24/7 CCTV and CPTED-based crime prevention, wide roads up to 220 ft, dual-source electricity, and a central Intelligent Operation Centre (IOC). Telekom Malaysia (TM/TM One) provides 5G, IoT networks, AI-powered security, and smart building management feeding into the IOC. Solarvest Holdings provides solar-ready infrastructure — for Phase 1, NCT cites 270+ factories with roughly 36,000 kWp capacity offsetting about 25,515 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
Environmental sensors (covering CCTV/LPR/thermal, traffic, smart lighting, and air/environment monitoring) feed the IOC. A live tenant-facing app or dashboard is not yet evidenced publicly — confirm tenant data access directly with the developer.
On flood resilience, NSIP is engineered to sit above the 100-year flood level (platform ground level of 5.6 m against a 100-year ARI flood level of 4.8 m) with a "Blue & Green Force" canal flood-mitigation system and a green-belt canal corridor.
NSIP also signals depth of demand: NCT Alliance signed a term sheet (May 2026) to sell a ~100-acre parcel for an up-to-800 MW data centre within the park, and it operates an AI-managed Centralized Labour Quarters (CLQ) (RBA-standard worker hostel, up to 13,000 pax). Target sectors include semiconductor, E&E, smart logistics, data-centre-adjacent operations, IR4.0, and clean light/medium manufacturing.
2. Selangor Aero Park
A purpose-built aerospace and aviation-related development positioned to leverage proximity to KLIA. It is geared toward MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul), aerospace component manufacturing, and aviation logistics tenants. Confirm current land status and availability with the relevant developer.
3. KLIA Aeropolis
The airport-city masterplan around KLIA, integrating air cargo, logistics, e-commerce fulfilment, and aerospace activities. KLIA Aeropolis benefits most directly from runway and cargo-terminal adjacency, making it relevant to time-sensitive and high-value air-freight businesses.
4. Carey Island Port / SEZ
The planned Carey Island Port and Special Economic Zone in Kuala Langat is a longer-horizon maritime-logistics anchor, complementing the existing Port Klang complex. It is a key reason the WCE corridor and South Selangor are viewed as a future port-logistics growth axis.
5. Sepang Gold Coast
A coastal tourism and lifestyle development rather than a pure industrial estate. It is included here because it forms part of the IDRISS anchor set and contributes to the region's amenity and workforce-lifestyle profile, roughly 26 km from NSIP.
What Makes an Industrial Park Worth Buying Into
Beyond headline price, here is how experienced industrial buyers evaluate a park.
| Factor |
Why it matters |
What to look for |
| Managed vs unmanaged |
A managed park provides shared security, maintenance, infrastructure governance, and ESG monitoring; unmanaged estates leave this to individual owners. |
Gated & guarded, central operations centre, defined service standards |
| Tenure |
Affects financing, exit, and long-term planning. |
Leasehold vs freehold; remaining lease term; conversion conditions |
| Connectivity |
Logistics cost is recurring; airport/port/highway access compounds over years. |
Distance to KLIA, ports, and the highway network |
| ESG credentials |
Increasingly required by MNC supply chains; unlocks green financing and lower interest. |
Recognised certification (e.g. GreenRE), solar-ready power, EV charging |
| Flood resilience |
A single flood event can halt operations and damage inventory. |
Engineered platform levels, flood-mitigation systems, drainage design |
| Worker welfare |
Compliance with buyer codes (e.g. RBA) is now a procurement gate. |
Centralized labour quarters, hostel standards, capacity |
A managed, certified park typically carries a premium over a bare industrial plot, but for export-oriented manufacturers the trade-off is often favourable: predictable operations, supply-chain compliance, and a smoother ESG story for customers.
Why NSIP Stands Out for Managed, Low-Carbon Factory Units
Putting the framework above together, NCT Smart Industrial Park scores well on most managed-park criteria simultaneously: it is a recognised managed and low-carbon park, GreenRE-certified, engineered above the 100-year flood level, well connected to KLIA and the major highways, and supported by an operational IOC and worker-welfare infrastructure. For buyers prioritising ESG and operational resilience, that combination is hard to assemble plot-by-plot in an unmanaged estate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is IDRISS, and where exactly is it?
According to Invest Selangor, IDRISS officially covers 16,369.58 acres across the Sepang and Kuala Langat districts in South Selangor, anchored by 9 high-impact projects with a combined ~RM57.7 billion GDV. Some media cite larger figures (around 40,000 acres) on a broader boundary basis; this guide uses the official number.
What is the difference between a managed and an unmanaged industrial park?
A managed industrial park centralises security, maintenance, infrastructure governance, and often ESG monitoring under a single operator, with defined service standards. An unmanaged estate leaves most of this to individual owners. NSIP is recognised as Malaysia's first Managed Industrial Park by the Malaysia Book of Records.
Is NCT Smart Industrial Park freehold or leasehold?
NSIP is leasehold. Tenure affects financing and exit planning, so confirm the remaining lease term and any conditions with the developer before purchase.
How does NSIP handle flood risk?
NSIP is engineered to sit above the 100-year flood level — a platform ground level of 5.6 m against a 100-year ARI flood level of 4.8 m — supported by a "Blue & Green Force" canal flood-mitigation system. No park can offer an absolute guarantee, but this is a robust, engineered approach.
What does a factory unit at NSIP cost?
Managed factory units start from RM5,108,000 for 2-storey semi-detached units, with cluster and detached factories at higher price points. For current availability and any discounts, please contact us.
