The Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI) has yet to receive any official information regarding BYD’s assembly plant in Tanjung Malim. In general, this means the status of the BYD Tanjung Malim plant, which was originally announced in August 2025, is still unclear. However, from what we witnessed back in May, it seems that BYD may have its sights somewhere else. Inokom is a subsidiary of Sime Motors that provides contract manufacturing services, and the Kulim plant already has experience assembling BEVs, including Chery Omoda E5 and BMW i5 CKD. However, there have been no further updates from BYD and Sime Motors since the visit took place.
