On July 8, President of the Republic of Tajikistan and Leader of the Nation, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, inaugurated the second phase of Sayri Sughd LLC in the Sughd Free Economic Zone.
The company’s primary activities include the production of small electric cargo vehicles, bicycles, and 18 types of children’s toys.
During the visit, the President was informed that the facility had been constructed by the Umarov brothers as part of preparations for the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan. The project aims to promote industrial development and the production of import-substituting goods.
The newly established enterprise employs more than 100 local workers and produces 35 types of products each month, including 250 small electric cargo vehicles, 15,000 bicycles, and 30,000 children’s toys. Approximately 70 percent of the finished products are exported.
The main production buildings, including mechanical processing, welding, packaging, and painting workshops with a total area of 12,500 square meters, are integrated into a fully automated production line equipped with modern, next-generation technologies.
The introduction of advanced technologies has reduced manual labor by up to 90 percent.
It is worth noting that during the inauguration of the first phase of the Sayri Sughd plant on November 19, 2024, President Emomali Rahmon recommended that the company’s founder establish a facility for manufacturing small electric vehicles to meet domestic demand.
Following this recommendation, entrepreneur Mirzo Umarov utilized the tax and customs incentives available in the Sughd Free Economic Zone, imported advanced technologies, and launched the production of small electric cargo vehicles under the Sayr Motors brand.
The electric vehicles manufactured in Tajikistan can travel up to 100 kilometers on a single battery charge.
These vehicles have a payload capacity of more than one ton, accommodate two passengers, and are manufactured with either open or enclosed cabins according to customer demand.
Currently, nearly all bicycle components are produced domestically at the factory, with only three types of parts imported from abroad, demonstrating the high level of expertise of Tajik specialists and the effective application of modern technologies.
Another benefit of the new production technology is a tenfold reduction in manual labor required for wheel balancing.
The company’s management plans to further increase production and exports by taking advantage of the country’s favorable business and investment environment and to contribute significantly to the implementation of Tajikistan’s fourth national strategic goal—rapid industrialization.
President Emomali Rahmon highly praised the founder’s initiative in establishing this modern industrial enterprise, creating permanent jobs, and promoting domestic manufacturing. He instructed the responsible authorities to take additional measures to attract investment to the Sughd Free Economic Zone and support the construction of new industrial facilities.
The Sughd Free Economic Zone was established in 2008 at the initiative of President Emomali Rahmon. Over the past 17 years, 27 industrial and service facilities have been constructed and commissioned with the participation of domestic and foreign investors, while design and pilot work continues at 25 additional projects.
In 2026, five new resident companies were registered in the zone, creating 300 new jobs. Their activities are primarily focused on industrial production and service provision.
