Delivery major Viettel Post plans $21 mln logistics center in central Vietnam 

Viettel Post, the courier arm of military-run telecom giant Viettel, has completed a site survey for a planned 21-hectare logistics center in the central province of Ha Tinh, with an estimated investment of nearly VND550 billion ($20.87 million).

The project is positioned to take advantage of direct access to the North-South railway and the key transport corridor to Laos, the company said during a working session with authorities in Duc Tho commune last Thursday.

The proposed site, located in Dai Loi hamlet, spans more than 26 hectares, mostly agricultural and buffer land - conditions that are expected to ease land clearance.

Its proximity to National Highway 8A - a major route to Laos, and its immediate connection to the North-South railway near Yen Trung station give it strategic logistical relevance.

The location also benefits from strong regional connectivity, only 10 km from the North-South Expressway and 30 km from Vinh Airport in neighboring Nghe An province. Freight volumes through the area remain consistently high, supporting demand for warehousing and transshipment services.

Under the preliminary investment plan, most of the VND550 billion ($20.87 million) budget will go toward core infrastructure, with the remainder allocated to technology systems, equipment, and operational needs.

Viettel Post plans a 60% construction density on the project area, with buildings ranging from one to five stories. A substantial portion of land will be reserved for yards and loading zones to support large-scale cargo consolidation, alongside modern finished-goods warehouses.

The Ha Tinh expansion follows the company’s groundbreaking of a VND700 billion ($26.56 million) logistics center in Danang just one month earlier.

The back-to-back projects highlight Viettel Post’s strategy to capture surging e-commerce growth and rising cross-border freight demand, the company said, adding the Ha Tinh facility is also being planned as a green logistics hub, incorporating automation technologies and aligning with the province’s development master plan through 2030.

Vietnam's leading private conglomerate Vingroup will develop a modern, large-scale international port named Son Duong at the Vung Ang Economic Zone in Ha Tinh province.

Ha Tinh authorities recently granted in-principle approval for the over VND8.8 trillion ($333.8 million) project and okayed Vinhomes Ha Tinh Industrial Park Investment JSC - a member of Vingroup - as investor. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion and commissioning planned for Q2/2028.

Vingroup has invested in many large projects in Ha Tinh. In late August 2023, the group's VinES electric vehicle (EV) battery factory in the Vung Ang Economic Zone began operations.
