BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 6. Uzbekistan's Ohangaron district and China's Jiangsu Yiershi Group discussed plans for a $30 million investment project to manufacture electrical equipment.
This was reflected in the statement by the Tahkent Regional Administration.
The project was reviewed during a meeting between Ohangaron District Governor Bahrom Norqobilov and representatives of the Chinese company.
According to the administration, the proposed facility would produce a range of electrical products, including high- and low-voltage switchgear, transformer substations, power distribution equipment and modern components for renewable energy systems.
"The parties agreed to continue cooperation and review alternative land plots for the implementation of the project," the regional administration said in a statement.
During the meeting, local officials presented Ohangaron's investment potential and business environment, emphasizing the district's readiness to provide the necessary support for the project's implementation.
The discussions also focused on identifying suitable sites for the planned manufacturing facility and advancing the project toward the implementation stage.
If realized, the investment would strengthen Uzbekistan's electrical equipment manufacturing capacity while supporting the country's efforts to expand production linked to power infrastructure and renewable energy development.
The proposed project reflects Uzbekistan's broader strategy of attracting foreign direct investment into high-value manufacturing, promoting industrial localization and expanding domestic production of equipment for the rapidly growing energy sector.
