Lamerd Special Economic Zone
Also known as Lamerd Energy-Intensive Industries Special Economic Zone (LSEZ), the zone is managed and operated by the Lamerd Special Economic Zone Organization. Official materials identify energy-intensive industrial development as its central focus.
Strategic and market-access role
Lamerd Special Economic Zone matters in the Hormuz Graph because it sits in southern Fars near the Persian Gulf hinterland, where energy access, mineral-based industry, aluminum and metals activity, and routes toward Bushehr and Hormozgan shape industrial feasibility. Its role connects special-zone regulation, industrial land, power-intensive manufacturing, materials flows, and logistics between inland Fars and southern export gateways. The asset is distinct from urban industrial zones because its value depends on heavy-industry suitability, corridor access, utilities, and proximity to southern resource and port systems. The zone is intended to support industrial development and exports by attracting energy-intensive industries in southern Fars.
Operations, capacity & connectivity
Related use cases
Useful for industrial site selection, special-zone screening, metals and materials supply-chain mapping, power and water-risk review, logistics planning, and partner search in southern Fars. Companies can use it to assess whether Lamerd is suitable for energy-intensive manufacturing or materials processing compared with Shiraz, Asaluyeh, or Hormozgan options. Due diligence should verify utilities, land readiness, tenant mix, licensing, road access, and environmental constraints.

Expansion and development projects
The organization reports continuing infrastructure expansion and investment attraction; no project-specific scope, timetable or capacity figures were verified.
Constraints, risk & compliance
