Uzbekistan to raise number of dry ports to 30 by 2030

Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed resolution No. PP-368 on 12 October 2026 on additional measures to develop the transport and logistics system. The document sets sector targets for 2026–2030. Under it, the number of international dry ports that meet all requirements is to rise from 24 to 30. Transport and logistics centres will receive tax and customs payment benefits.

By 2030, the annual capacity of these centres must reach at least 40 million tonnes. Exports of transport and logistics services are planned to reach $3.5 billion, and transit cargo carried through Uzbekistan is to grow to 18.5 million tonnes. Cargo throughput at border crossings and container handling capacity at logistics centres are to double.

Khanabad in Andijan region, Alat district in Bukhara region, Termez district in Surkhandarya region, and Yangiyul and Akhangaran districts in Tashkent region will specialise in the sector. Centres will introduce terminal (TOS) and warehouse (WMS) management systems and will be connected to the Ministry of Transport's E-logistika platform by the end of 2030. Until 2040, the centres will be fully exempt from land and property taxes.
