From January to October this year, the added value of industries above the designated size, industrial invoice sales, and industrial electricity consumption in Huai’an increased year-on-year by 8.2%, 9.4%, and 7.9%, respectively.

Leading enterprises continue to play a pivotal role in bolstering industrial growth. Huai’an has advanced its program to cultivate enterprises with a scale at the 10‑billion‑yuan level, offering targeted “green‑channel” and one‑to‑one support and resolving more than 30 major development issues faced by these leading enterprises to ensure their stable and smooth operation. From January to September, 38 enterprises with a scale at the 10‑billion‑yuan level and 5-billion-yuan level produced RMB 122.51 billion in output, up 11.6% year-on-year and accounting for 36.1% of the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size, becoming a core stabilizing force. New growth drivers are also accelerating. Through regular visits and research, Huai'an has precisely addressed challenges in enterprise production and operations. From January to September, Huai'an generated an additional output value of RMB 36.46 billion, lifting the total output value of industrial enterprises above designated size by 11.7 percentage points and injecting fresh momentum into the economy.

Projects form the "lifeline" of Huai’an’s industrial economy. For investment attraction, Huai’an has deepened industry research and major‑project assessments, producing high‑quality thematic reports on sectors such as the low-altitude economy, "new three" products, and photovoltaics, and completed 191 project analyses to guide targeted investment promotion. For project implementation, Huai’an has refined a "five-stage" lifecycle management mechanism for industrial projects, established an early-warning system for lagging projects, and conducted in-depth reviews of non-commenced, non-completed, and non-statistically-included projects to enhance conversion efficiency. From January to September, Huai’an’s industrial investment grew by 8.5% year-on-year, with 326 new industrial projects each valued at over RMB 100 million commencing construction—including 56 projects each exceeding RMB 1 billion, nine more than the same period last year.
