Gia Lai approves chemical complex with investment of nearly ₫7 trillion
Vnchemora’s project will occupy more than 41 hectares, with the first factory expected to start operations in December 2028.
Authorities in Vietnam’s Gia Lai province have authorised Vnchemora to develop a chemical complex involving nearly ₫7 trillion in investment. Nguyen Thanh Nguyen, deputy head of the Gia Lai Economic Zone Authority, said the company had been granted an investment registration certificate.
Development is planned across three phases at Phu My Industrial Park, in Phu My Dong Commune. Construction of the initial factory is due to begin in late 2026, ahead of an expected production start in December 2028. The second phase is scheduled to break ground in May 2029, and the third in December 2030.
The planned annual output includes 150,000 metric tons of chlorine-based products. Capacity for caustic soda, vinyl chloride monomer and polyvinyl chloride is set at 100,000 metric tons each. Nguyen said other basic chemicals to be produced include sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, ferric chloride and polyaluminium chloride.
The complex’s operating term is 70 years, starting when the certificate is issued. Vnchemora must meet applicable legal requirements, including those concerning environmental protection, construction, labour and land use.
The authority separately approved Gemora Global’s ₫980 billion Gemora Green Fertilizer and Agricultural Chemicals Plant. Also located at Phu My Industrial Park, it will occupy 18.4 hectares. Construction on its first phase is expected to begin in December.
