Bingiriya Export Processing Zone (EPZ)

The Bingiriya EPZ is a newly developed industrial zone located in the Kurunegala District of Sri Lanka’s North Western Province. Commencing in 2019, the zone covers approximately 157.83 acres, with 90.74 acres designated for industrial use. Positioned about 81 km from Colombo, it is planned as a low-pollution, less water-consuming industrial hub, aligning with Sri Lanka’s sustainable development goals.

Infrastructure includes asphalt-concrete roads (with some under construction), a planned sewerage and effluent system, and a dedicated 2 MVA power supply to be upgraded to 10 MVA. The zone ensures potable water supply at 1,500 m³/day, and supports full connectivity with telephone, email, and internet services. Security measures such as chain-link fencing and 24/7 protection are in place. While centralized administration is still developing, Bingiriya EPZ is designed to support modern, environmentally responsible manufacturing operations.
