In the second phase in 2021, production of 60,000 washing machines and 10,000 televisions was launched, raising total capacity to 140,000 units.

The third phase, planned for 2026–2028, will expand refrigerator production to 100,000 units, introduce air conditioner manufacturing with a capacity of 50,000 units, and include construction of a new production facility in Dushanbe.

Once completed, the plant’s total annual output is expected to reach 300,000 units.
