In June, it is expected that 12 carriages will be sent from Russia to the capital's metro. In addition, Metrovagonmash is preparing a contract to supply Uzbekistan with 60 units of rolling stock in 2024-2025.

The company from the suburbs of Moscow intends to open the first dry milk formula plant for children in the republic and create a selection and genetic center for cereals and legumes in Samarkand, as well as launch its own specialized retail pharmacy for plant protection.
