Ahmed Khalil, CEO and Managing Director of Raya Holding, emphasized that the increase in revenues is a direct outcome of the successful investment strategy implemented by the group’s subsidiaries. “The achievements of the group’s subsidiaries during the first half of the year highlight their successful expansion efforts. This includes Raya’s collaboration with LG in a manufacturing megaproject through its subsidiary, Raya Electric, as well as significant progress in establishing leadership in the electric car industry through Raya Auto. This was manifested through the partnership with XPENG to introduce advanced electric cars with European specifications, marking the company’s first entry into Africa. Additionally, our 11 subsidiaries have launched several mega-projects worldwide,” he stated.
