Recently, there have been many complaints about the condition of passenger carriages and issues with the cooling system. 143 carriages need repair, and 59 locomotives have exceeded their service life.
Therefore, $50 million from the Industrial Development Fund is being allocated for the production of new passenger carriages.
It was noted that an agreement worth $181 million has been reached with Chinese partners to bring in 38 locomotives and modernize 12 electric locomotives.
In the coming years, the 196-kilometer "Miskin-Nukus" line will be electrified. As a result, travel time for passengers will be reduced from 16 hours to 7 hours.
