PETALING JAYA: Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NS Corporation (NS Corp) to explore industrial water supply solutions for its industrial parks in Negeri Sembilan. The collaboration covers Eco Business Park VII (EBP VII) and potential future EcoWorld industrial developments in the state.
At the MoU signing ceremony were EcoWorld chief executive officer Datuk Seri Chang Khim Wah and NS Corp CEO Datuk Norazhar Musa.
Under the one-year MoU, both parties will jointly conduct feasibility studies on developing a desalination water treatment plant to provide an alternative and supplementary source of industrial water supply. The MoU may be renewed for a further period, subject to mutual agreement between both parties.
The proposed initiative aims to strengthen water infrastructure and support growing demand from industrial investors, particularly those involved in high-value manufacturing, technology and data centres.
Located within Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 (MVV 2.0) where NS Corp was also involved in its development, EBP VII has recorded approximately RM2bil in sales in less than a year since its November 2025 launch. According to EcoWorld, the industrial park continues to attract enquiries from domestic and foreign investors.
Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan recorded RM41.5bil in approved investments between 2023 and June 2026, comprising RM24.2bil in domestic direct investments and RM17.3bil in foreign direct investments.
Much of the investment activity has been concentrated within MVV 2.0, supported by its proximity to Greater Kuala Lumpur, competitive land prices and improving infrastructure.
