Orangi Cottage Industrial Zone

Orangi Cottage Industrial Zone, is located in Orangi Town, in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

The Orangi Town Cottage Industrial Zone, spread over an area of 262 acres (1.06 km²), was inaugurated in 1994. Despite the successful balloting the same year, allottees were not given possession of their plots as no development work could be carried out due to various legal issues and unauthorised occupation of land by encroachers.

The scheme was originally divided into nine blocks with a total number of 4,118 plots including 3,949 plots of 200 square yards, 140 commercial plots and 29 amenity plots. The project’s total cost was estimated at Rs1.113 billion.
