Yangi Avlod Special Industrial Zone attracts global investors with strategic infrastructure and incentives

Strategic location and market access

The SIZ is strategically positioned along the historical Silk Road corridor and is in close proximity to Tashkent, the country’s largest economic center. The capital region accounts for roughly half of domestic consumption and 87% of freight flows within Uzbekistan. The ongoing development of New Tashkent (20,000 hectares), along with the planned construction of a new international airport and the Tashkent–Samarkand highway, is expected to enhance regional connectivity significantly.

Residents highlight Uzbekistan’s predictable investment framework, supported by government incentives and a favorable geographic location between major regional markets. These factors reinforce the SIZ’s potential as a gateway for projects targeting broader Central Asia.

Infrastructure and operational readiness

“Yangi Avlod” is designed as a fully integrated industrial ecosystem. Core utilities, including gas, electricity, water supply, road access, and sewage systems, are delivered directly to each plot. This approach reduces preparatory time and provides investors with clear expectations for project commissioning.

A centerpiece of the zone is Uzbekistan’s largest international transport and logistics hub, being developed jointly with the Tashkent city administration and DP World. Valued at over $288 million, the project includes a rail-linked terminal, Class A warehouse facilities, customs infrastructure, cross-docking operations, and dedicated vehicle storage. 4PL multimodal logistics will reduce residents’ costs for transporting and storing products and will provide full end-to-end supply chain support.

Part of the zone’s power demand will be met through solar energy generation, supporting operational stability and reducing long-term electricity costs.

Fiscal and customs incentives

Residents benefit from a preferential fiscal regime, including exemptions from four key taxes: corporate income tax, property tax, land tax, and water-use tax. In addition, customs incentives reduce the cost of importing equipment and materials. These measures help lower production costs and enhance pricing competitiveness, particularly for export-oriented enterprises.

Governance, regulatory stability, and administrative support

The SIZ operates under a legal framework that ensures investment protection, profit repatriation, and a stable tax environment. These guarantees reduce regulatory risk and facilitate long-term financial and operational planning.

A one-stop-shop administrative model, managed by the SIZ operator, provides support across all key processes, including the establishment of legal entities, permitting procedures, utility connections, and coordination with contractors.

Procedural timelines have been formalized to streamline project initiation:

• 2 days for application registration
• 2 days for document preparation
• 5 days for commission review and approval

 Resident feedback

Early residents highlight predictable timelines, efficient communication with the management company, and practical assistance during both construction and operational phases. The zone’s strategic location, combined with the planned DP World logistics terminal, is cited as a key factor for long-term operational efficiency.

Development outlook

Over the next 3–5 years, “Yangi Avlod” is projected to evolve into a high-capacity industrial cluster. More than 100 enterprises are expected to operate within the zone, generating over 10,000 jobs. Cluster development is anticipated in automotive manufacturing, food processing, metalworking, electrical engineering, and packaging. The combination of advanced logistics infrastructure, reliable utilities, and comprehensive industrial services positions the SIZ as Uzbekistan’s next-generation industrial platform.
