Dhamdum Industrial Park

Dhamdum Industrial Park in Samtse district is a recent initiative to spur industrial development in southwestern Bhutan. This park, covering a considerable area, is designed for a variety of industries with a special emphasis on clean technologies and value-adding industries. The government plans to equip this park with high-quality infrastructure to attract both local and foreign investors.
