What Happened
The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has approved the selection of investors for two major infrastructure projects. According to the decision, a consortium led by CII (CII - HOSE) will handle the expansion of National Highway 13, a key route connecting HCMC to Bình Dương province. Meanwhile, Son Hai Group has been selected for component 2.1 of Ring Road 4, which involves building an expressway section from Tóc Tiên - Châu Pha intersection to Châu Đức Bridge, including the bridge itself.
The Ring Road 4 component 2.1 project will be implemented under a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) contract, with a total investment of over 5,247 billion VND, entirely funded by the investor. The project is expected to have a toll collection period of 21 years and a contract term of 23 years and 3 months. These projects are part of a larger initiative to launch 9 key infrastructure projects in HCMC on August 29, 2026, including other transport, urban renewal, and social housing projects.
Market Context
CII, listed on HOSE, closed at 14,700 VND on August 28, 2026. The company is a major player in infrastructure development in Ho Chi Minh City, with a focus on transport and urban infrastructure. The selection for the National Highway 13 expansion is a significant win for CII, as it aligns with the company’s core business and could enhance its revenue pipeline. The broader infrastructure push in the Southeast region, including Ring Road 4, is expected to create numerous opportunities for construction and infrastructure firms, potentially benefiting CII and its peers.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, CII’s involvement in the National Highway 13 expansion reinforces its position as a key infrastructure developer in Vietnam’s most economically dynamic region. The project is likely to provide steady revenue over the construction period and potentially recurring income from toll collection if the model is similar to other BOT projects. Moreover, the scale of Ring Road 4 and other regional infrastructure projects suggests a multi-year pipeline of work for companies like CII, which could support earnings growth and order book visibility. The use of 100% private capital in the Ring Road 4 component also indicates a favorable environment for PPP investments, which could attract more private participation in infrastructure.
What to Watch
- Official contract signing and project commencement details for the National Highway 13 expansion.
- CII’s financial reports for the next few quarters to gauge revenue contribution from the new project.
- Progress on other Ring Road 4 components and potential involvement of CII in those.
- Regulatory updates on toll collection mechanisms and tariff adjustments for BOT projects.
- Any changes in the investment environment for PPP projects in Vietnam, including policy shifts or new incentives.
