Uzbekistan plans to launch new gas block production plant

Uzbekistan’s construction industry is experiencing significant development. Currently, around 1,300 enterprises in the Namangan region produce construction materials. In comparison, nine years ago, there were fewer than a hundred such production facilities. According to statistics, the total number of industrial companies has quadrupled, and production capacity has increased tenfold. This growth can be attributed to the initiation of large-scale projects, including a new plant for producing gas blocks. This plant is expected to have a production capacity of 500,000 cubic meters of products per year. The gas blocks, made from artificial materials, are designed to be lightweight and more environmentally sustainable. Once operational, the plant is projected to rank among the five largest production facilities in Central Asia.

«The enterprise is located in a free economic zone (FEZ), with approximately $60 million in investment. Notably, the enterprise is entirely self-sufficient in electricity thanks to solar panels installed on the roof of the building,» said Okibjon Inomov, Deputy Governor of the Namangan region.

«Eight hectares of land in the FEZ were allocated for our project. The uniqueness of the product lies in its high demand and environmental friendliness. The gas blocks can stay cool on hot summer days and warm during cold winter days. Starting next month, we will begin supplying our products to local markets,» shared enterprise director Khusan Dzhabborov.
