KUALA LUMPUR: NCT World Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCT Alliance Bhd, has signed a term sheet for the proposed sale of a 100-acre land parcel specifically positioned to support data centre developments within NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP), marking a key milestone in the group’s industrial strategy. 

The land parcel has been identified by a global data centre operator as a potential site for development, reflecting Malaysia’s growing attractiveness as a regional hub for digital infrastructure. The interest also highlights the strength of NCT Smart Industrial Park’s (NSIP) Managed Industrial Park (MIP) model where integrated infrastructure, centralised estate management and long-term master planning create a stable and well-managed environment for large-scale, high-value investments.

NSIP’s MIP framework provides clarity, consistency and operational reliability across the park, supporting efficient deployment and long-term scalability. This readiness, together with its master-planned ecosystem, positions NSIP as a preferred destination for digital infrastructure investments and reinforces its ability to attract quality investors into the park.

The proposed development is expected to support up to 800MW of data centre capacity and will be undertaken by the purchaser, subject to relevant regulatory approvals and the execution of definitive agreements between the parties. Upon completion, the proposed sale is expected to contribute positively to the Group’s revenue and earnings while strengthening its position in the digital infrastructure segment.

The entry of a global data centre operator into NSIP enhances the park’s profile and reinforces its appeal to high-quality investors, supporting continued investment momentum across the development. This builds on NSIP’s growing recognition as a future-ready industrial ecosystem, including its achievement of a 5-diamond rating under the Low Carbon Cities 2030 Challenge and its recognition as Malaysia’s first Managed Industrial Park with IR4.0-ready facilities and GreenRE-certified ESG features.

The identification of NSIP as a potential site for data centre development reflects broader industry trends. Malaysia continues to see strong momentum in data centre investments, driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and evolving global supply chain dynamics. This is driving demand for well-located, infrastructure-ready industrial land.

NSIP is well positioned to capture this demand, supported by its integrated infrastructure, managed environment and ability to support large-scale digital infrastructure developments.
