    Uzbekistan expands industrial infrastructure with new economic zone

    TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, September 16. Uzbekistan
    has launched a major economic initiative in the nation’s Namangan
    region with the establishment of the 10-hectare Tarakkiyot
    Industrial-Service Zone, uniting 113 industrial and service
    projects that are expected to generate 500 billion soums ($40
    million) in annual output and create 4,800 new jobs, Trend reports, citing the
    Office of the President of Uzbekistan.

    To support stable operations within the zone, the government has
    put its money where its mouth is by investing in crucial
    infrastructure, such as electricity networks, water pipelines,
    sewage systems, and internal roadways, all backed by the state

    A standout feature of the Tarakkiyot zone is its vocational
    retraining facility, designed to equip unemployed individuals with
    modern, in-demand skills through hands-on training and access to
    advanced equipment. This initiative is considered a vital component
    in combating unemployment and poverty while improving the overall
    quality of life in the region.

    Addressing the broader development landscape, President Shavkat
    Mirziyoyev emphasized the urgent need to upgrade the country’s
    automotive service sector.

    “New car plants are opening, incomes are rising, and the number
    of vehicles is growing. However, the level of service—particularly
    for foreign brands—is not keeping pace. If this sector is organized
    systematically, we can ensure job creation and significantly
    improve service quality,” he stressed.

    The Tarakkiyot zone is part of a broader industrialization
    strategy in the region. As of today, 73 industrial zones covering a
    combined area of 1,500 hectares are operating in the Namangan
    region, highlighting the government’s commitment to economic
    diversification, job creation, and regional development.

    As of April 2025, Uzbekistan boasts a robust framework
    comprising 28 designated special economic zones (SEZs), 389 small
    industrial zones (SIZs), 23 technology parks, and 355 operational
    clusters, all synergistically integrated within the overarching
    paradigm of special economic zones. These designated areas are
    strategically engineered to catalyze capital influx by providing a
    suite of advantages, including streamlined customs protocols and
    fiscal inducements.
