Massive industrial zone planned in Chirchik through Chinese investments
Complementing this cooperation, two major Chinese firms — China Construction Fifth Engineering Division Corporation and BSM Group Limited — are spearheading a large-scale project to build a specialized industrial zone named “Two Regions – One Park” inside the Chirchik Technopark. Investment exceeding $200 million is allocated for this ambitious project, which is scheduled to commence construction in the first quarter of 2025.
The industrial zone will host about 20 enterprises producing a variety of products including electrical equipment, construction materials, special machinery, textiles. The first factories are expected to be operational by 2026 and will create over 1,000 jobs, reinforcing the region’s manufacturing base and export potential.
Overall, the evolving Sino-Uzbek industrial cooperation at Chirchik represents a significant step in Uzbekistan’s efforts to embed itself within global manufacturing chains, offering international investors and business actors promising prospects in a rapidly developing Central Asian economy.
