Tatarstan is considering the construction of an aerated concrete plant in Bukhara, according to information provided to TASS on the sidelines of the "Innoprom. Central Asia" exhibition in Tashkent by Sergey Mayorov, the Chairman of the Board of the Industrial Cluster of Tatarstan.
"We have received interest from the Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan regarding Bukhara. He would like us to build a plant there for building materials, particularly aerated concrete, for a large construction project. Negotiations were held yesterday, and this matter has been included in the roadmap," Mayorov stated.
He highlighted that the project is cutting-edge, requiring four times less space than traditional plants and employing four times fewer staff, with a payback period of only one and a half years.
