Horizon synthesis and use
- This is a defined operating route rather than a generic industrial ambition. Five-year renewable leases and a one-time six-month grace period are stated, while lease price, entity eligibility and Tamkeen financing terms remain to be verified. Production still depends on approved fit-out, Civil Defence and KAHRAMAA clearances, compliance approvals and activated utilities.
