Construction of DP World’s multimodal logistics terminal in Tashkent, valued at more than $288 million, is scheduled to begin in October. The company’s management has invited President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.
The plans were announced by Tashkent Mayor Shavkat Umurzakov during a ceremony attended by the President to launch new facilities. According to Umurzakov, the capital aims to attract $9 billion in investment and increase exports to $4 billion by the end of 2026. During the first eight months of the year, Tashkent attracted $5.6 billion in investment, compared with $2.7 billion in 2024.
“We have been preparing for this for a long time. This project is very important for us; it is necessary,” President Mirziyoyev said.
The project is being developed by DP World in partnership with Tashkent Invest, a subsidiary of the Tashkent city administration. DP World will hold an 85% stake in the joint venture, while Tashkent Invest will own 15%. The terminal will occupy approximately 82 hectares within the Yangi Avlod Special Industrial Zone. Total investment is expected to exceed $288 million.
According to DP World, the facility will include a rail-connected dry port, customs clearance zones, vehicle storage areas, warehouses and cross-docking facilities. The first phase will include a rail terminal with annual capacity of 150,000 TEU and a warehouse complex covering 63,000 square metres.
The logistics hub will have direct access to Uzbekistan’s national railway network, major highways and Tashkent International Airport. DP World sees the facility as a link connecting Central Asia with the Middle East and Europe.
The capital is also advancing other investment projects. According to the mayor, 14 projects are expected to reach full capacity in about three years, generating $3 billion worth of products annually and supporting $1.5 billion in exports. Another 22 projects worth $500 million are planned for launch in the industrial zone by the end of 2026.
