On October 27, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon, and the Chairman of the Majlisi milli Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Mayor of Dushanbe, His Excellency Rustam Emomali, inaugurated the Eco Block construction materials plant in the Shohmansur district of the capital.

Local entrepreneur Akbar Asadullo established the plant to support the country’s fourth national strategic goal—accelerated industrialization. In terms of production capacity, the new industrial facility is the country’s largest lightweight brick manufacturing plant.

The plant is equipped with modern machinery and equipment imported from leading international companies. Its annual production capacity amounts to 300,000 cubic meters of aerated concrete blocks.

President Emomali Rahmon was informed that this type of construction material had previously been imported, in part, from abroad. With the launch of the new plant, seven types of aerated concrete blocks are now being manufactured domestically for widespread use in the construction industry.

The production process consists of six stages, ranging from raw material preparation and molding to steam curing at a temperature of 200 degrees Celsius and product packaging. All stages are carried out automatically using modern machinery and equipment, significantly reducing manual labor.

The plant currently produces aerated concrete blocks measuring 60 centimeters in length, 20 centimeters in width, and 30 centimeters in height. Depending on market demand and customer orders, the facility can also manufacture products in other shapes and sizes.

The plant also has office facilities, a canteen, and dormitory accommodation for employees.

The launch of this modern industrial facility will help supply the domestic market with locally produced construction materials, reduce dependence on imports, and promote export growth.

Currently, 35 aerated concrete block manufacturing plants operate across the country. During the first nine months of this year, these enterprises produced 150,000 cubic meters of aerated concrete blocks.

According to officials, production of aerated concrete blocks in Dushanbe reached 10,000 cubic meters during the first nine months of the year.

President Emomali Rahmon highlighted the importance of initiatives by domestic entrepreneurs to establish major industrial facilities of this kind. He placed particular emphasis on the efficient use of local raw materials, the production of competitive and import-substituting goods, and the creation of new jobs.

The relevant officials were instructed to pay close attention not only to increasing production volumes but also to maintaining product quality, complying with established standards, and ensuring competitiveness in the market.
