The Inner Mongolia Tuoketuo Industrial Park (内蒙古托克托工业园区), built in 2003, is an autonomous region-level high-tech industrial park and a cyclic economy demonstration zone. 

The park sits on 18 square kilometers and has planned an expansion to 100 sq km. 

Developing the cyclic economy and forming three industrial chains: coal, electricity, high-alumina fly ash, alumina (cement and ceramic particles), deep processing of aluminum-silicon-titanium alloy materials; coal, methanol (gas), aromatics (polyethylene and polypropylene); and corn starch, APIs, patent medicine.

The park has also cultivated a number of leading industries, including power and energy, metallurgy, a modern coal chemical industry, and biopharmaceuticals, and has introduced more than 40 related projects with an investment of over 45 billion yuan ($6.83 billion) in fixed assets.

The park hosts a Datang Tuokeduo power plant with total installed capacity of 5.4 million kilovolts (Asia's largest thermal power base), 11 biopharmaceuticals companies (including Jinhe Biotechnology Co. and Kingdomway Pharmaceutical Ltd.) and a biological fermentation base with a volume of 28,000 cubic meters.

Also on the grounds is a growing project extracting alumina from high-alumina fly ash with advanced techniques, and an aluminum eco-industrial park that deals with extended production of electrolytic aluminum and deep processing of aluminum products, with a total planned area of 13.5 sq km.

The park also houses a modern coal chemical industry focusing on the production of clean energies, such as coal-to-gas and coal-to-arene, and aims to become a heavy chemical industrial base for Hohhot and the entire autonomous region. 

The park has been appointed a national pioneering base of agricultural products processing by the Ministry of Agriculture, a Torch Program industrial base of biological fermentation by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and one of the top 10 industrial development zones in Inner Mongolia by the autonomous regional Party committee and government.

The park ranks second among the 20 key industrial parks in Inner Mongolia.
