International logistics operator DP World has signed an agreement with Tashkent Invest, a subsidiary of the Tashkent city administration, to establish a joint venture, DP World Tashkent LLC. The new multimodal logistics terminal will be built in the Yangi Avlod special industrial zone in the Yangihayot region. The project aims to develop Uzbekistan’s transport infrastructure and strengthen its status as a key logistics hub in Central Asia.
The total investment will exceed $288 million, and the project will be implemented in three phases. DP World will hold an 85% stake, and Tashkent Invest will hold a 15% stake. The terminal will occupy an area of approximately 82 hectares and will include a dry railway port, customs clearance areas, truck parking, Class A warehouses, and cross-docking facilities. The first phase envisions the construction of a railway terminal with a capacity of 150,000 TEUs per year and a 63,000 square meter warehouse complex by the end of 2026–2027.
The complex will have its own freight railway station and direct access to the national rail network, major highways, and Tashkent International Airport. Its location in a special industrial zone will provide the project with tax and customs benefits, facilitating the integration of logistics, manufacturing, and export operations.
