On November 23, Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the under-construction special industrial zone "Yangi Avlod" in the Yangihayot district of Tashkent, as reported by the president's press service.
The complex covers an area of 764 hectares, where active work is currently underway to develop the infrastructure. In "Yangi Avlod," 47 projects worth $1.37 billion are planned in the fields of food industry, construction materials, electrical engineering, machine engineering, and chemical products. As a result, approximately 12,000 new jobs will be created.

The Emirati company DP World plans to create a transport and logistics center. Laboratories, research centers, conference halls, and commercial spaces are planned to be organized within the industrial zone. Additionally, dual education will be implemented to prepare specialists for industrial enterprises.
"In recent years, our GDP has doubled and reached $110 billion. Now we aim to increase this figure to $200 billion. Without creating all the conditions for investors and fully supporting projects, we won't achieve this result. Tashkent should become a model in this direction," emphasized Mirziyoyev.
The head of state instructed responsible officials to pay special attention to localization, digitalization, and energy saving in the implemented projects.
The special industrial zone "Yangi Avlod" was established by presidential decree on March 20. The special regime will last for 30 years, with the possibility of extension in the future. Enterprises in the special industrial zone receive customs preferences and are exempt from several taxes.
By the end of 2025, it is planned to launch investment projects totaling $1.5 billion within the industrial zone. The territory of the special industrial zone "Yangi Avlod" will be managed by a company of the same name in the form of a limited liability company, which will lease land to investors through the E-auksion platform.
Earlier, Spot reported that Chinese investors are proposing to invest $2.7 billion in the Surkhandarya region's mines.
