Another major project is being implemented in Surkhandarya region, aimed at increasing industrial potential, attracting investment, and creating new jobs.

In accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated January 25, 2025, “On measures to implement promising projects aimed at the joint development of mineral resources of Afghanistan” in cooperation with the Ministry of Investment, industry and trade and Khokimiyat of Surkhandarya region “Uzbek Overseas Geology Company” LLC, received participant status in the Termez Free Economic Zone.

Based on this resolution, the company conducted a land survey for the establishment of a branch or subsidiary. Based on the documents submitted and the coordinates provided, 2 hectares of land, with a total area of 2.43 hectares, were put up for public auction. Following the auction, “Uzbek Overseas Geology Company” LLC was declared as winner.

As a result, a branch of the company was established in Termez, named “UOGC Termiz Branch” LLC, which officially became an active participant in Termez Free economic zone.

“UOGC Termiz Branch” LLC has now begun implementing major investment projects in the free economic zone. Specifically, plans include the construction of a modern industrial complex aimed at expanding production capacity for granite slabs.

The project’s technical and economic indicators, production capacity and future development prospects were discussed.

This project will make a significant contribution not only to the development of regional industry but also to the national economy.

At the same time, creation of new jobs within project will contribute to employment growth.
