In 2025, the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex fully implemented the Localization Program, meeting all production forecasts.

Under the program, goods worth 1.31 trillion UZS were produced during the reporting period, with the forecast fulfilled by 102%. Purchases through industrial cooperation reached 4.0 trillion UZS, three times more than in 2024, or 2.6 trillion UZS above the rated.

Thanks to the production of localized products, import substitution volume amounted to $109 million. In particular, the Complex production facilities mastered and manufactured the front wall of the EKG-15 quarry excavator bucket, new pneumatic flotation machines, and rubber bars for the 9.5 x 5.4 mm MMPSI (wet semi-autogenous grinding mill), which had previously been imported.

In January-December 2025, the volume of imported goods for basic production needs and the implementation of investment projects amounted to $108.5 million, reducing this indicator by 30%.

It is particularly noteworthy that the measures implemented to reduce import volumes resulted in $180.3 million in foreign currency savings over the year.

To expand industrial cooperation and as part of the Industrial Triangle program, 26 companies were involved through the "taking in tow" mechanism (support and accompaniment). The Complex purchased $71.3 million worth of import-substituting products from these enterprises, enabling import substitution and creating 210 new jobs. As part of this cooperation, 2BC115 dump cars, quarry trucks, refractory bricks, polymer microspheres, ammonium nitrate, and other products were purchased.

In 2026, as a result of the planned import reduction measures, foreign currency savings of $155.8 million are expected.

Furthermore, the Localization Program plans to develop the production of import-substituting products worth 1,329.7 billion UZS, which will enable import substitution of $110.8 million. Specifically, the project envisages the production of new types of crushing equipment for Copper Concentrator No. 3, armor and linings for a 7300×13000 mill, as well as the body and frame of the 2ВС115 dump car.

Additionally, to further develop industrial cooperation, it is planned to purchase import-substituting products worth $45 million, including drill rods for the SBSh-250 unit, packaging straps, and spare parts for rail transport.

Therefore, in 2026, the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex intends to mobilize all available resources and capabilities to ensure the sustainable implementation of the Localization Program and further reduce dependence on imports.
