Selangor chief minister Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has said during the recent 2026 Selangor Budget tabling at the state assembly that a Rail Industry Hub will be developed in Hulu Selangor for the manufacture of train components and maintenance, Bernama reports.
“This initiative will involve collaboration with industry players, academia and experienced rail operators. Already, companies in Selangor, such as SMH Rail, have begun manufacturing locomotives for the MRT network and for export purposes,” he said, adding that the aim is to reduce the state’s reliance on foreign technology, since much of Malaysia’s rail industry is concentrated in the Klang Valley.
Amirudin also highlighted plans to develop the Automotive Valley in Serendah and Lembah Beringin, which will focus on petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric vehicles (EV). The location was chosen after Chery’s RM2.2 billion investment to build the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park in Lembah Beringin, with plans to produce up to 300,000 vehicles annually upon completion, for both domestic use and export.
“The area is strategically located near the main plants of domestic carmakers Proton and Perodua, as well as international companies like Nissan. The state government, through Invest Selangor, will implement policies to develop the entire supply chain,” said Amirudin.
