The mayor’s announcement Naucalpan, Isaac Montoyaabout a plan to rescue and promote industrial zones in 2026 contrasts with economic and security indicators that show persistent lags in the municipality that is trying to govern.
Although the councilor stated that Naucalpan It contributes almost 18 percent of the GDP of the Mexican entity, the most recent data from the INEGI jointly places Naucalpan with around 12 percent of the state GDP, without there being an update to support the figure mentioned during the meeting with the ASECEM and Expo Eléctrica Internacional.
While the municipal government of Naucalpan proposes an industrial relaunch, Canacintra Valle de México reports that approximately 35 percent of Naucalpan industrial parks operate with obsolete infrastructure, a situation that limits the attraction of new investments.
Likewise, the National Directory of Economic Units registered a decrease in productive units in corridors such as Alce Blanco and the Toltec zone in recent years, a trend that has not been reversed during the current administrative period.
In terms of security, the mayor highlighted a drop in high impact crimes; However, figures from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System maintain Naucalpanuntil September 2024, among the municipalities with the highest incidence of transportation theft, merchandise theft and business theft in the country.
Citizen perception also does not show significant variation: the National Urban Security Survey of the INEGI left Naucalpan with more than 77 percent of its population feeling unsafe, practically the same level as the previous year.
The statement that there is a “total opening” for investment also contrasts with the results of the IMCO 2024 Urban Competitiveness Index, in which Naucalpan was ranked outside the first places in areas such as government efficiency, innovation and infrastructure management, a situation that in 2025 has not been able to be reversed.
