Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced the launch of a program under which solar power plants with a capacity of 300 kilowatts will be installed in each of the 903 mahallas. These stations will be transferred to local residents as a grant asset, creating an economic flow expected to be around 400-500 million sums for each mahalla. The funds raised are planned to be directed towards energy-efficient renovations in the homes of needy families, which will help reduce electricity costs and improve quality of life. Additionally, similar measures will be implemented in another 1000 mahallas with a high level of specialization.
To stimulate the specialization of mahallas, new financial mechanisms are being introduced. The budget will reimburse 50% of the costs for purchasing certified seedlings for farms and private plot owners. Subsidies for trellises will range from 20,000 to 70,000 sums, and for the implementation of drip irrigation, plot owners will receive compensation of 160,000 sums for each hundred square meters.
In 2026, 140 trillion sums will be allocated in the form of loans to support small and medium-sized businesses. The President noted that in 37 "difficult" districts, within the framework of the "Family Entrepreneurship" program, loans will be provided at a rate of 12%. The maximum amount of preferential loans under this program will be increased by 50% to 50 million sums.
In 563 mahallas located in border areas and enclaves, the maximum loan amount for entrepreneurial projects will increase to 1 billion sums. In addition to the planned 3.6 trillion sums, another 2 trillion sums will be allocated. This year, banks will also provide 17 trillion sums in loans to deepen the specialization of mahallas.
As part of the program, 4,000 low-income families will be provided with 50 hundred square meters each for 10 years, totaling 2,000 hectares, to create mulberry gardens. Each needy family will be allocated 4 million sums for organizing sericulture cooperatives.
Additional funding of 1 billion sums will be allocated to 100 "difficult" mahallas that achieve the best results in creating jobs and increasing household incomes. The assistants to the khokim working in these mahallas will undergo monthly training courses in countries such as China, Turkey, Korea, and Malaysia.
From this point on, the appointment and dismissal of assistants to the khokim, women activists, and youth leaders will be carried out by the district khokim based on the recommendation of the mahalla chairman.
