The Pakistan Sundar Industrial Expo (PSIE) 2026 was successfully held from February 10-12, 2026, at the Sundar Industrial Estate, with over 500 stalls from manufacturers and exporters nationwide. The event, inaugurated in collaboration with the Sundar Trade & Industrial Association (STIA), aimed to empower youth entrepreneurs, showcase industrial innovations, and strengthen business linkages. The closing ceremony, graced by PIEDMC Chairman Javed Iqbal, featured B2B meetings, technical sessions, and a lucky draw. Leadership from the Gujranwala Chamber of Commerce & Industry was also invited as Chief Guests. The Expo is planned to be elevated to an international platform, establishing it as a global brand for industrial promotion.

The Punjab government, under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has significantly advanced housing initiatives for industrial workers at Sundar Industrial Estate. This includes the balloting and allotment of 720 newly constructed apartments to homeless workers in December 2025, with 480 reserved for Kasur-based and 240 for Lahore-based workers. Furthermore, Phase-II of the Worker Welfare Complex will see the construction of 672 additional apartments at Sundar, alongside projects in Multan and Nankana Sahib. The government has directed the completion of 1,872 more worker apartments within 18 months and a 700-bed bachelor hostel in Sheikhupura within three months, as part of a broader welfare vision.

Industry stakeholders have highlighted a critical infrastructure gap affecting logistics and competitiveness at Sundar Industrial Estate. The primary issue is the lack of a continuous dual-carriageway connecting the estate to Multan Road, leading to chronic congestion, safety risks, and increased transport costs for container movement. A detailed policy brief calls for immediate intervention through options such as full dual-carriageway expansion, a dedicated freight corridor, or grade separation at bottlenecks to improve freight capacity, reduce logistics costs, and enhance the estate's position as a premier industrial hub.

Din Properties has broken ground on the "United Business Park" (UBP), a new private Special Economic Zone (SEZ) located adjacent to the Sundar Industrial Estate. Envisioned as a next-generation industrial hub and the largest private SEZ in Lahore, the project offers investors access to SEZ incentives under the SEZ Act, 2012, including a 10-year income tax exemption and duty-free import of machinery. The project aims to support industrial expansion, export-led growth, and attract local and foreign investment, positioning itself as a catalyst for regional economic development.

The development of Fazaia Housing Society Phase 2, an LDA-approved project by the Pakistan Air Force, is actively marketed with its proximity to Sundar Industrial Estate cited as a key advantage. The society's secondary entrance is near the industrial area, providing potential employment opportunities and driving commercial demand. Current plot rates and development status are being promoted, positioning it as a residential option for those connected to the industrial zone.
