The construction of the production site in the Bektemir district of Tashkent is planned to be finished by September this year, with the plant will being put into operation in the same month.
At the first stage of production localization, foreign partners plan to invest $3 million and create 30 jobs. At the second stage, the investments will increase up to $5-6 million and around 100 jobs will be created.
