Lorestan Special Economic Zone
The zone provides industrial land and plots for manufacturing, warehousing and trade. Incentives include tax and customs benefits, streamlined licensing and reduced shared-utility costs. These terms and practical availability should be confirmed directly with the operator for any transaction or site decision.
Strategic and market-access role
Lorestan Special Economic Zone matters in the Hormuz Graph because it sits in a western inland province positioned between central Iran, Khuzestan, Kermanshah, and Iraq-facing corridors. Its role is not based on coastal trade or heavy petrochemicals, but on industrial land, warehousing, manufacturing services, and regional distribution around Khorramabad. The asset connects Lorestan’s labor base, road freight routes, provincial enterprise demand, and potential supply-chain roles between western border markets and central Iranian consumption and production centers. An inland location for industrial and distribution activity connecting Lorestan with central and western Iranian routes and Iraq-facing trade corridors.
