The municipality of Inđija is set to become a major hub for Chinese investments in Serbia, announced Marko Gašić, the mayor, in an interview with Novi Sad’s Dnevnik. Two large Chinese companies, Tehron and Mint Holding, are planning projects in the city that will create nearly 2,500 new jobs.
In the first phase, Tehron, a manufacturer of automotive parts for major brands such as Volkswagen, Porsche, and Audi, will build a 4,500-square-meter facility employing 200 workers. The plant is expected to begin operations by mid-2026. “They have submitted a request for location approval and will receive a response from the Urban Planning Department in the coming days to define the construction boundaries. They have already engaged a construction company and appointed a director, who is currently undergoing training in China,” said Gašić.
The second, much larger investment comes from Mint Holding, which will construct an electric vehicle production facility on a 210-hectare plot. The project is valued at €870 million and is expected to create 2,200 jobs. The Inđija municipal assembly recently approved a detailed urban plan for the “Advanced Mobility Center of Serbia,” formally clearing the way for one of the largest investments in the city’s history, Gašić confirmed. This investment is part of a broader strategic agreement between Mint Holding and the Serbian government, formalized through a memorandum of understanding to allow construction of a modern production complex in Serbia.
In parallel with the arrival of these investors, significant infrastructure investments are planned. Two large substations will be built, doubling Inđija’s current electricity capacity. “We have enough electricity for all companies and residents, but these plans are being made decades ahead, which is necessary. The state will allocate tens of millions of euros for this work, expected to begin next year,” Gašić emphasized.
To support long-term development, gas infrastructure is also being strengthened. “We currently have sufficient gas capacity, but with long-term plans, a large new gas station will be needed. We have agreed with Srbijagas to build a new gas station, and work on this is already underway,” concluded the mayor.
