Fifty million dollars of the required capital for the project will come from the province allocated budget and the private sector will undertake the rest, IKCO said. IKCO’s participation would be limited to providing the required technical knowledge, equipping the production lines and training human resources.

The first phase of the site will enter into operation in nine months and another nine month period is required for the second phase to start.

In what IKCO terms ‘2025 vision’, it is planned that IKCO annual production will exceed 1.5 million cars a year.

In line with the decentralisation policy (pushing the industries out of the capital), IKCO has already started to establish production sites throughout the country.
