How WCE and Carey Island Port Are Boosting Banting’s Industrial Potential

Banting is no longer just a small town in Selangor—it’s now at the center of two game-changing infrastructure projects: the West Coast Expressway (WCE) and the future Carey Island Port. Together, these mega developments are rapidly turning Banting into one of the most strategic industrial zones in Malaysia’s southern corridor.

1. WCE: A New North–South Industrial Backbone

The West Coast Expressway (WCE) spans from Banting all the way to Perak, offering an alternative to the congested North–South Expressway (PLUS). For industrial players, this means:

• Faster delivery routes to Klang, Kapar, and Johor
• Reduced logistics cost and congestion delays
• Easy trailer access to inland logistics and warehouse zones

With multiple entry/exit points in Banting and Telok Panglima Garang, the WCE is unlocking large tracts of industrial land for development.

2. Carey Island Port: The Next Maritime Mega Hub

Located just 20–25km from Banting, the proposed Carey Island Port is planned as an expansion of Port Klang. Once complete, it’s expected to:

• Triple Malaysia’s container handling capacity
• Support new free trade zones (FTZs)
• Attract global maritime logistics companies

For industrial investors in Banting, this means proximity to a deep-sea port with high-volume trade potential. Land values are expected to appreciate rapidly in response.

3. Banting: Positioned Between KLIA and Port Klang

Banting offers unique dual-access advantages:

• 30–40 minutes to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
• Short haul to Port Klang (Northport and Westport)
• Future multi-modal logistics corridor once Carey Island Port opens

This makes Banting ideal for 3PL, cold chain, aerospace supply chain, and light manufacturing firms looking to scale.

4. Land Availability & Infrastructure Support

The WCE corridor near Banting features wide roads, newly zoned industrial lands, and growing developer activity. Key upgrades include:

• Road widening at key intersections (Jalan Klang–Banting)
• Telecom fiber zones and TNB 3-phase support
• Drainage, fencing, and gated SME factory clusters

5. Investment Outlook

With prices for industrial land still ranging from RM40–RM70 psf, Banting is currently undervalued. Once Carey Island port construction kicks off and WCE is fully integrated with logistics parks, Banting is expected to become a core logistics and export manufacturing hub in Selangor.
