DP World Announces Major Logistics Investment in Uzbekistan
DP World has entered into a joint venture with Tashkent Invest to develop and manage a new multimodal logistics terminal near the Uzbek capital, Tashkent. The strategic partnership aims to strengthen Uzbekistan’s logistics infrastructure and position the country as a key transport hub in Central Asia. The total investment, valued at around US$ 288 million, will be implemented over three development phases. Tashkent Invest will hold 15% of the joint venture’s equity capital, while DP World will retain the remaining 85%.
The joint venture, DP World Tashkent LLC, will lead the development of the transport and logistics hub across approximately 82 hectares of land. Once fully operational, the Tashkent Multimodal Logistics Terminal will feature a rail-connected dry port for containers and covered cargo, customs clearance zones, vehicle storage facilities, truck parking, and modern Grade A warehouses with cross-docking capabilities.
Phase one of the DP World Tashkent project will include the construction of a 150,000 TEU-per-year capacity rail terminal and a 63,000 m² warehouse complex, expected to be completed by late 2026 or early 2027. Future phases will add an additional 163,000 m² of warehousing capacity, depending on market demand and trade volume growth.
Located within a designated special economic zone, the Tashkent logistics terminal will benefit from a dedicated freight railway station with direct access to Uzbekistan’s national rail network. Its proximity to major highways and Tashkent International Airport will enable seamless multimodal cargo transfers between road, rail, and air transport.
DP World believes the new Tashkent terminal will become a vital logistics link between Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe, facilitating cargo flows through the group’s integrated global network. As DP World expands its presence in Central Asia, the investment underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing regional connectivity and trade efficiency.
