Tashkent Metro to Receive 56 New Cars in 2026 to Update Fleet

The Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan announced that in 2026, the Tashkent metro will be supplemented with fourteen modern trains, which include 56 new cars. It is planned that all supplied trains will be put into operation before the start of the new academic year.

This delivery is part of a program to update the metro rolling stock and improve the quality of passenger service. Thanks to these acquisitions, almost seventy percent of the capital's metro fleet has been modernized.

The new trains operate on four lines of the Tashkent Metro. Their introduction has allowed for a reduction in travel intervals, including during peak hours. On the Chilanzar line, the interval during peak hours is from 1.5 to 2 minutes. On the Uzbekistan line, the interval is about three minutes, and on the Yunusabad line, trains run every four minutes. On the Elevated Ring Line, metro movement operates at an interval of seven to eight minutes.

The acquisition of new sets is aimed at creating more comfortable conditions for passengers and further increasing the efficiency of the capital's metro system.
