The Tashkent Metro is buying 10 Russian sets of rail cars total worth of 63.3 million euros, as stated in the project feasibility study (FS), approved by the government decree of July 12 (PKM # 435).

In April the Tashkent Metro and VEB.RF Corporation signed a loan agreement for supply of metro cars produced by Russian Transmashholding.

The sources for the project financing are a EUR 30.4 million loan from the VEB.RF at a rate of 1.85% per annum and EUR 24.4 million loan from Roseximbank at a rate of 0.51% per annum. The remaining 8.7 million euros will be contributed from the state budget.

The cars’ cost is 50.7 million euros, with the rest falling on components, loan insurance, finance costs, customs clearance, and more.

Uzbekistan must repay the loan from VEB.RF until 2031, given the interest and commissions, the amount will grow by 3.1 million euros up to 33.5 million euros. The Roseximbank loan should be repaid in 2032, taking into account interest and commissions, the amount will increase by 800.8 thousand euros - up to 25.2 million euros.

Passenger coaches and driver's cab cars are equipped with video surveillance, air conditioning and air disinfection systems. The service life of metro cars and frames is 30 years. The windshield of the driver's cab will be equipped with an adjustable manual sunscreen, taking into account the peculiarities of the Tashkent Metro, some of the lines of which run on the surface of the earth.
