During a working visit to Isfara on March 31, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon commissioned coal deposit No. 8 of the Angisht Open Joint-Stock Company. This was reported by the presidential press service.
As reported to the head of state, the project to restore coal mine No. 8 in Shurob is being implemented with the support of the national government and development partners. As part of the project, production lines have been modernized and key industry facilities have been renovated. Over 700 people are currently involved in the project, and a gradual increase in the number of workers, including representatives of the local community, is planned.
The President was also informed that coal production volumes will gradually increase as the project's subsequent stages are implemented. In 2026, production is planned to reach 200,000 tons, in 2027 – 700,000 tons, and by 2028 – over 1 million tons annually. The company currently employs 700 people, with the potential to increase this number to 1,500.
At the same time, the project included the creation of production infrastructure, including drinking water tanks, a water supply system, utility and service buildings, and an electrical substation. According to the press service, this creates the conditions for the efficient operation of the plant and improved social and living conditions for employees.
A residential building for 700 employees, as well as an administrative and service building with equipped offices, have been constructed. The main building includes a conference room for work meetings, and a sports ground has been built in the adjacent area. Landscaping work has also been completed, including the planting of shade trees and ornamental flowers.
Currently, the operations of Deposit No. 8 are aimed at supplying the domestic market with domestic coal and developing the mining industry. The commissioning of the facility, as noted, is part of the country's accelerated industrialization policy and is aimed at increasing production volumes, creating jobs, and strengthening energy potential.
Following his visit, Emomali Rahmon instructed those responsible to continue developing the enterprise and strengthen its contribution to the industry and improving the population's standard of living.
