The Fergana Oil Refinery (FOR) will increase production volumes of motor gasoline from December 11, the Saneg press service reported.

As the company noted, the solution is designed to meet the growing demand for high-quality and frost-resistant fuel in the winter. It is expected that this will ensure a stable supply in the gasoline market and will allow the plant to meet the needs of the population.

The total daily production of AI-80 and AI-92 gasoline will reach 1,000 tons. This is twice the current volume.

Saneg Deputy Director General for oil refining Khabib Latipov noted that the increase in output was made possible by the introduction of new technological solutions and processes at the plant. Increased production will contribute to the formation of an affordable market price, he added.

Saneg began modernizing the FOR in the fall of 2022. The company announced its intentions to invest more than $400 million in work to establish the production of high-octane gasoline, aviation fuel, and modern base and motor oils.
