In 1960’s approval was obtained by the provincial Government to establish an industrial estate in the south of Punjab and 1410 acres of land was acquired for this purpose. However due to lack of funds, Government of Punjab decided to develop it into two phases.
Phase-I comprising of 743 acres was developed & completed in 1980’s whereas, 667 acres were planned to be developed subsequently as phase-II. All plots in phase-I were leased out for a period of 99 years to industrialists and some Govt. Institutions.
Location
MIE is located at a distance of about 15km south west of Multan city. (Location map attached)
Infrastructure
The main problem in colonization of phase-I was poor quality of infrastructure. Road network & sewerage system was virtually absent and over a period of time MIE was flooded with obnoxious effluents resulting into health & environment crises.
In 2004, the Government of Punjab (GoP) formally handed over MIE to Punjab Industrial Estates in order to revive industrial activity.
An amount of Rs. 100 million was allocated by the GoP for up gradation of the infrastructure and the same amount was contributed by PIE.
Multan Industrial Estate is led by a Board of Management belonging to private sector representing various industrial segments of the estate and the rest representing the Government.
Today, MIE is completely colonized with an operational infrastructure.

• Textile & Garment
• Flour Mills
• Leather
