Shavkat Mirziyoyev launches 206 new giant industrial projects at once in Andijan
An unprecedented investment boom, not only on a national scale but across the entire Central Asia, has taken place in the Andijan region, considered the economic heart of the Fergana Valley. During his visit to the region, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev participated in a solemn ceremony featuring a total of 206 projects with a record total value of 9.4 billion US dollars. Pressing a symbolic button, the head of state put 98 new capacities worth 2.05 billion dollars into operation and officially blessed the construction of 108 major industrial facilities worth 7.35 billion dollars.
Covering all 16 districts and cities of the region, these large-scale initiatives will fundamentally transform the energy, mechanical engineering, electric bus, solar panel, freight car, textile, logistics, and high-tech pharmaceutical sectors. The projects are being built in cooperation with investors from leading countries of the world such as China, the USA, Germany, Turkey, South Korea, the UAE, and India. Once these 206 projects are fully operational, over 45,000 new permanent jobs will be created in the region, 60.6 trillion soums worth of industrial products will be manufactured annually, and an export flow of 533 million dollars will be established.
So, how will this unprecedented capital inflow of 9.4 billion dollars transform Andijan into the mechanical engineering and electric bus hub of the region, which districts are receiving the largest investments, and what revolutionary changes will this trigger in the lives of the valley's population?

Economic and geo-industrial expertise: Why these initiatives will fundamentally change the image of Andijan
Conclusions of economic scientists and industrial analysts:
From "agrarian and basic industry" to "heavy and high technologies": The establishment of production of electric buses, freight cars, solar panels, and small hydropower plant equipment will turn Andijan from simple assembly shops into a complex mechanical engineering and engineering center;
Energy security and environmental integration: Electric energy storage and distribution systems, as well as power generation technologies through waste recycling, will serve to provide stable capacity to industrial sectors and residential households during the autumn-winter season;
Regional monopoly and export guarantee: The $533 million in new export volume will be formed mainly through high value-added finished products (electric transport, household appliances, finished textiles) — this guarantees national currency stability and a manifold increase in regional treasury revenues;
Logistics and industrial hub for neighboring republics: Located on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, Andijan is becoming a major transit gateway of Central Asia through new freight cars, international logistics centers, and transport networks.
The wave of $9.4 billion projects launched under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev demonstrates Andijan as one of the most powerful economic drivers of our country.
